Meeting Time: 3:45 Place: IT Conference Room - Note these items are **not** listed in order of priority

1. Update CPS. We are running 5.01.1091. They are now on version 5.40.1143 - SW Let Teresa and Marv investigate the upgrade.

2. Update Tux Paint - SW Create a trackit to update Tux Paint.

3. Removal from Approved List and ending IT support for older software than no longer runs on newer computers. MH If the software runs on the old machines it will not be removed however new machines will not be tweaked by changing settings to simulate old computers as this could affect current software. We cannot back up to older operating systems components or drivers to allow older software to run. Any f uture workorder requests will be closed with this explanation.

4. Steve Eubak at THS is asking that Music Lesson software (fundamentals and chords and Harmony) be added to the approved list. This is software that he has used and is using on his Mac computers. However, he needs to upgrade and they are not on our approved list. MD This software will be grandfathered in for the Mac version only. The PC version will need to evaluated before it will be on the approved list.

5. Tux of Math Command, Tux Math Scrabble, Tux Typing, Tux Writer programs added to approved list and to launcher. GR Marv will install and we will run for a 30 day trial for Williams lab.

6. It is our recommendation that discontinued software be replaced by a districtwide software funding source. This option is not currently available to us at all. This would allow for a consistant software platform among all district schools.

7. Kompozer, Filzilla should be added to the approved software list.
