NACS sponsors two important coordination groups on campus, the Computer Support Coordinator (CSC) and Computer Lab Coordinator (CLC) groups. Both groups are aimed at helping support the departmental computer staff who support end-users. The groups try to build consensus about UCI computing environment directions, facilitate discussions of computer related matters, share information, and establish peer support. Topics of past CSC meetings include Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 networking and security, and a discussion of NT E-mail and Directory Services protocols. Topics of past CLC meetings include establishing minimum configuration guidelines for the purchase of desktop computers, and a presentation of NACS’ Uniprint Print job cost-recovery system.
The CSC and CLC groups meet on the last Wednesday of each month, alternating every other month. Meeting times and agendas are announced by e-mail using the UCICSCG@UCI.EDU and COMPUTER-LABS@UCI.EDU LISTSERV mailing lists, which campus computing supporters are welcome to join.
If you support computing and/or networking at UCI, you are invited to attend future CSC and/or CLC meetings. If you do not support computing yourself, please pass this invitation along to those in your department who do.
