 * Future Meeting Dates: **
 * The rest of this year's meeting dates: **2/13**....3/13....4/10....5/8....6/12 (2nd Thursday of every month)


 * Go over the minutes from our last meeting: **


 * Carts update and Cart meeting update: **
 * Key orders for the Macbooks? What is the status since last month? Are we all set with the purchase order yet?
 * **// Justin said Keys are ordered should have them within the next two weeks //**


 * Calendar update? Last check from December... Steve was working with Rob from BOCES. When Tom checked with Megan yesterday, she still could not get on the MS-I6 Calendar...
 * ** Tom emailed the BOCES help desk. Did not get any response and still can't use it as of 2/12. She even tried both Mac and PC. Still not go. **
 * Any cart issues from Staff?
 * There are about 8 laptops on the MSM6 cart that are unable to get passed the login screen. I put in a helpdesk ticket with the exact numbers - Kristin ** Steve said he fixed the issue 1/9/14 before the meeting **
 * What about getting the SmartBoard software taken off the laptops? ** Steve says he is the process of taking them off the carts. Follow up ---Steve said he and Kevin decided to take off the Smart board manually where needed rather than creating an entirely new image. They will remove for the summer. This also applies to any laptops that have been having trouble logging in to the network. **
 * Linda Gellman asked about the MSM3 cart. She says the printer option can still not be found on the computers of this cart? ** Steve mentioned before the meeting. Justin asked us to generate of list of of room #s so that list of these printers can be created an added. They are as follows: **
 * ** MSM3: **
 * ** Rms. 008-,010, 009, 110 and 125 **


 * Re-Imaging /Software/Port access update: **


 * **LMC: **
 * Since the end of break students and staff can no longer access the 5300 from any LMC machines unless you have privileges. Steve was looking into it. **Since the end of this meeting the decision had been made to replace this printer with the purchasing from BOCES going through at the district level. Mike and Sal have made these conclusions along with the committee.**
 * Overdrive Media Console website: If teachers and students want to use this to access online books at school and you need to install software will this work without asking or administrative privileges? ** Diane said to table this until later because it may not actually be an issue now. Or one that can be solved until next year. **
 * Access to BC@Home for Sally FitzPatrick- Mike will talk to Sal and will address this at the meeting...
 * ** Mike and Sal will discuss this more later and let us know at the next meeting **
 * Can we have 2 more computers for the main LMC for class research/use? Sometimes the labs are being used when students need additional computers.
 * ** Jusitn reminded us that the LMC is out of physical port capacity so any new machines would have to be wireless. What Diane pointed out is that no one is using the Netbooks that were given about a year ago because they are too small to use and run slow. It was decided that these would be swapped out for two laptops and wireless stations would be created for them. **
 * **Gmail:** Candy mentioned at our last meeting about the Gmail being spotty even on the public network. Eileen mentioned it might be a port issue?
 * ** Justin and Sal thought to be a network issue that has hopefully resolved itself. Also the HS has been trying to get Office 365 to work properly and that may be where some of the hiccups have come from especially with iPads. **


 * ** App Request: **
 * ====**Reflector:** An App for the iPad that does the reverse of Splashtop. Meaning you can display on your computer what is on your iPad. Candy mentioned if we can get the port opened for this to provide connection? iPads would not need a dongle chord. ** This program takes up a lot of bandwidth and can not really be thought about until next year with after the building upgrades this summer. **====
 * Purchase update: **
 * We have the Surface RT for Jim. Steve set it up for him on the network. No cover yet from CDW. Tom will check with Darlene and talk about at meeting... ** Have checked a couple of times. Is still on back order as of 2/12/14 **
 * Printer for 147- ** Understood this is part a bigger purchase order to be made this month and will ask again for status at February meeting **
