- Jeanna arrived in 2000
- Jan had VR lab in 2nd floor SC
- Negotiated to get space for graduate students prior to arrival, got 4th floor SC
- There was a PC lab in ERC with cisco networking academy
- Jeanna got a grant to repurpose that lab to be the ITL
- First spring was in 2001, taught undergrad OS.
- started using vmware for hands-on OS labs in the present-day ITL
- Another professor suggested that COSI room be used as COSI.
- Jeanna jointly wrote letter to TC, he agreed.
- IBM Linux challenge:
- Advanced OS class was mix of undergrad + grad students
- Submitted all projects from Advanced OS class, 5 submissions
- 1600 submissions, 25 winners, 6 in North America, 3 from CU!
- Won stuff.
- CU administration reacted by providing a budget
- At this point, had 4th floor, 2nd floor, COSI, ITL, ERC/Library PC lab.
- To consolidate, the present-day ITL became the ITL, and COSI officially became COSI
- Meetings were wednesday nights.
- No longer had ERC space.
- At some point, 4th floor space became a conference room.
- Which was OK, because it was a lousy space anyway.
- Late one night, people took a jackhammer to ITL wall, had to do community service, etc.
- Not long after, applied to Reckler family foundation. (sp?)
- This let us renovate, add a server room.
- VR lab was doing a wheelchair project, but it was on the 2nd floor.
- This made little sense, so VR lab was moved into COSI room.
- Math dept claimed half of the 2nd floor space at some point.
- There is a long list of contest wins.
- To be continued.
- Q: Was the jackhammer the direct cause of renovation?
- A No. Had already been talking about how nice it would be.
- Person who did it had some construction experience, and took matters into their own hands.
- Someone called campo due to noise.
- No one had to pay for it, but those responsible had to do community service.
- Jeanna thinks that was even unecessary.
- Q: Brick missing from front wall of COSI?
- A: COSI had that adjacent room for awhile.
- That room was to be used to work with some particular company.
- There was a rack in there at one point. Possibly some signs of that left via holes in wall, etc.
- Q: Was the Reckler (sp?) grant a one-time thing?
- A: It was several installments.
- MCS are soon to be more separate depts.
- A proposal recently specified that CS dept would only have the COSI budget.
- That would stink.
- Jeanna suggested to look at recent historical expenditures to choose a budget.
- Q: MCS split details?
- A: Possibly end of this academic year. Already separate depts within a division.
- Plan is to split budgets and chairs but share a secretary.
