Next Steps

• Resolve Budget Overage• Locations in Question• Finalize Building Priorities• Identifying kiosks as an UTFAB

project• Kiosk System Policies

Next Steps

Resolve Budget Overage

• Reduce Scope of Project– Eliminate some buildings & re-prioritize– Eliminate some kiosks & re-priorit-ze

• Increase Budget Allocation– by $10K to cover current costs– by $15K to accommodate potential location

changes

Next Steps• Locations in Question

– Physiology replacing Pathology– Change of location in Wagar– Change of location in Engr (Physics)

• Have not heard about– NESB– Shepardson– Visual Arts

• Potential for– change in telecomm & counter costs– delay in installation

• Decision– bring all changes back to UTFAB– allow the location crew to make final choice

Next Steps

Finalize Building Priorities• Lory Student Center• Clark A Wing• Engineering (main auditorium foyer)• Clark C Wing• Engineering (Physics Entrance)*• Wagar*• Weber• Chemistry• Natural Resources• Education• Physiology*• Yates• Gifford• Sheperdson*• Natural & Environmental Sciences (NESB)*• Visual Arts*

Next Steps

• Identifying kiosks as an UTFAB project and a grant from Sun– Banner above the kiosks?– Leetle stickers on ‘em?– Desktop credits?

Next Steps

• Kiosk System Policies– No authentication (log on)– Home Page (currently CSU)– no USB support (because of no

auth)– Kiosk management & LSC– Users agreeing to be nice?(aka agree-to-this-stuff-before-you-get-to-use-this-

thing)

Future Possibilities

• Authentication– Using eID– Local user space (activates USB)– Smart cards useful for all
