OIT Technology Meeting - March 2007

Announcements

Adrienne Geralds, TD
TD is making changes to their quarterly meetings - the original plan was to eliminate them entirely. Instead, they will be directed to the technical contacts only and make them more of a discussion with the people who manage networks. They will probably remain quarterly. The next one is scheduled for April 10.

Ed Humphrey, CSS
The Nagios monitoring software has been upgraded to version 2. It will provide more reporting and scalability.
