Meeting Time: 3:45 Place: Hope Street - Note these items are **not** listed in order of priority.

1. Windows Movie Maker. Why not on approved software list? (Pam V.) **Since it is part of Windows XP normal installation just as paint and other addins there is no reason to add it to the software list.** 2. RM-Easiteach **Gail will contact and collect disks. We have a price quote for Easiteach site license and we are awaiting quotes on the content package and the curriculum packages. (Site Licenses)** 3. Up-Date on Office 07 **Be studying ideas about possible power users in the district.** 4. According to Meg Braun, Harvard graphics is used by most of the Planning and Eval Department. Harvard Graphics is not currently on the district supported software list and hasn't been for quite some time. The latest version of Harvard Graphics was released in 1998. According to Marv Hiestand the district provided replacement for Harvard Graphics is Microsoft Publisher. Publisher is available to everyone in the application launcher. The IT department does not have any installation media for Harvard Graphics. Should we support? **It is the committee recommendation that the IT department does not support it and the software is upgraded to Microsoft Publisher or Adobe Indesign.** 5. How does IT proceed when asked to assist with software which is unrecorded/unapproved and/or no license provided and/or no media at IT? mh **Software must be legal and licensed and if it is outdated recommendations are made of newer comparable software.**
