Thanks, Marg! This looked like such a great idea that I actually visited the URL to learn more about it. What I saw was, "To access this page, please complete your institution's Technology Profile." So I took a quick peek at the Technology Profile thinking maybe I could fill in a few things ...

Procurement Professional here. I've been watching this thread with much interest and my thoughts keep going to, "That needs to be explicitly articulated in [some number of] contract[s]."

RE: Software Purchasing Requirements

My first thought (YMMV) If the University is purchasing it, then it's a University asset. University software policies apply. And the University has the right to deploy it as the University sees fit. (e.g., the person requesting it may be promoted next year, and the University may wish to redeploy ...

It's these darn narcissistic "Community Management Platforms" – all of them: work-related, homeowner association or neighborhood, garden club, church, dog park, TV station, etc., etc. – they all want their "community" to be or become the center of your life while all others fade into the background. ...

Good points ... assuming that the community doesn't want to see all the me-too replies. What I haven't seen yet are any of the people who want everyone to see all the me-too responses speaking up. They used to be in the majority, or at least were the last time I raised this issue a few years ago. ...

James I think you're onto something. Lots of things I used to participate in as email lists or even local monthly in-person meetings seem to now be re-conceiving themselves as "Communities" and placing a premium on constant "Engagement." It's not just EDUCAUSE. It's pervasive. And they all want more ...

Good Morning All, I know that it has been an intentional and long time practice in this EDUCAUSE Community to always reply-all, including for "Me Too" messages. Some time ago I asked if we could re-think that practice and was pretty firmly told no; this is the way we like it. However, I'm humbly ...

RE: Adobe ETLA revisted

No particular insight into Adobe, but I have noticed that virtually all I.T. suppliers are struggling with extensive contract backlogs these days. At first I thought it was just the usual – waiting until the last minute to create artificial urgency – but then I started seeing suppliers missing deadlines ...

Good Morning State Systems Group! This group has been pretty quiet, and I take it that is because that's what the membership wants. (Anyone can start a new topic anytime of course.) The EDUCAUSE Annual Conference is coming up this October in Denver, CO. It will have both in-person and online components. ...

From the perspective of an end user who has – much to my embarrassment - twice clicked on Phishing tests sent out by our organization: There is an alternative possible response – what I do – which, sadly, probably is more burdensome on our Information Security folks than some other possible responses: ...

Good Afternoon All, This is the first reminder that Educause will be deleting all the old posts to this group on March 31. Since it moved to the new platform - which we are now using - it needs to decommission the old one. It will not be moving previously saved messages to the new platform. You ...

Good Friday Afternoon All, It's Friday, the weekend is coming. For some of us this is our [slightly] protected thought zone. ("Don't bring me something new on Friday afternoon that can wait until Monday.") So what's on your mind today, as the week winds down and the weekend looms? My thought ...

Cali, Not saying you would do this on purpose, but do they have any reason to believe that you might have been allowing commercial entities to use your academic licenses?

Agree with what Loren Malm said. Also (just from a Procurement perspective...) I've been seeing some thinly veiled suggestions that kind of sound like accusations but that don't follow the procedures for a formal software license audit... just strange e-mails basically, from individuals who might ...
