Draft agenda - from the planning committee (Chris Eagle of U Michigan, Paul Hobson of UBC, Matt Kolb of MSU and Jim Phelps UW-Madison)

Audience - mostly ITANA members who are on the email list an on the calls.

Outcomes -

  • Gather feedback re: concerns and considerations for each area
  • Send people back with the goals and tasks for each area of focus for ITANA going forward
  • Identify one or two projects for ITANA members to jointly work-on
  • Identify one or two professional development goals to work on back at your campus

Morning Sessions:

Architecture Introduction (aka Speed Dating)

Starting Up an EA Practice

  • Defining and measuring the value of EA / Defining "The Road To Value" (JISC). Moving the metrics up the stack from hardware to "time to strategic implementation" or "reduce risk". Working groups to define metrics?
  • Entry points, where do you start
  • Selling EA and then starting to do EA
  • Where should EA be placed in the Organization? Who should be on the team? Where do the lower level architects fit into the group? How do you bring Business Analysts and distributed architects into the mix.

5/10 Feedback Session

Growing an EA Practice

  • Maturity Model
  • Patterns and Anti-Patterns in Architecture
  • Managing the Lifecycles: Students, Researchers, Instructors, Staff, Advisors
  • Governance, Architecture Review Committee - leveraging what you have. Making it work with what you've got.

5/10 Feedback Session

Afternoon Sessions:

Practice of EA - Professional Development

  • Leading Managing and Doing as Architect - what are your tasks and which ones are most important
  • Building Influence
  • Business architecture model and views. This is probably a superset of the actor lifecycle view Matt mentions as well as the capability maps we looked at a few ITANA calls ago.
  • Starting points of those discussion and Entry to EA discussions; what works as a starter for 10.

5/10 Feedback Session

Next Steps - Going Forward

  • What are the goals and tasks that ITANA should work on going forward

Old Face2Face Planning discussions and notes

Face2Face 2010 Planning Begins

If we had a Face2Face, would you come? Would you present? Where you would like it to be? You'll get a chance to answer these and many other questions in an upcoming survey. We are starting the Face2Face planning by developing a set of questions for a survey of the members. Two working group calls are scheduled for the week of February 1, 2010. We will report out at the February 4th ITANA Conference Call.

  • Question 1: What is our goal for having a face-to-face meeting? Networking? Producing one or more work products? Forming one or more subgroups tasked to produce some product?
  • Related question: What would a successful face-to-face meeting look like? How many people would have attended? What would the interactions be like?
  • Question 2: Do we want to pick some reasonable (where we define reasonable) set of topics for a face-to-face meeting? If so, what? Alternatively, do we want to poll the ITANA list for topics of interest, make a call for presentations?
  • Question 3: How many days? 1? 1.5? 2? ...
  • Question 4: Where and when? Should it be co-located with some other event a large number of us are likely to attend? Again, should we be polling the list for suggestions or just drawing on our considerable knowledge?

Past Face2Face Work

Face2Face 2009 Survey

ITANA Face2Face Spring 2009 This meeting was canceled. The agenda will form the basis of longer webinar / working calls.

Agenda for Thursday Webinar/Working Calls

Enterprise Authorization - Marina Arseniev, Chair

  • Truly enterprise-wide authorization solutions present challenges from the technology perspective and even more challenges from the business and cultural requirements perspective. Questions about scope, granularity, roles, delegation, and data integration with vendor and other software continue to be posed in many institutions where authorization solutions have difficulty meeting campus needs. Specific common problems and case studies, such as campus-wide access audits, are the focus of this session. We will share real-world experiences, identify common requirements and discuss solutions (successful or possibly not) to better understand common challenges.
    • This session will discuss why enterprise authorization is so elusive for so many of our institutions; it will be a forum to share successes and failures. The goal is to define what specific actionable steps or decisions architects across our campuses might be able to make that bring vision and clarity back to their organizations.
      *Enterprise Authorization Working Group
  • Working group time to push the topic forward and define future activities (if any) that ITANA should take on.

5/10 Feed Back Session

  • Give a short, 5 minute, presentation and get 10 minutes of feedback from the attendees. Do you have something you are working on? Want to get a quick check on your roadmap? Need to get past a sticking point?

Kuali on Campus - David Walker, Chair

  • Over the past few years, the Kuali Foundation has become a major force in the creation of community source administrative software for use in higher education. Work is in progress on a growing list of applications, including Kuali Financial System, Kuali Student, and Kuali Coeus (research administration). These applications are being designed to utilize a common middleware layer, Kuali Rice, which provides a service bus, workflow, access to identity management, notification, and presentation services. This session will provide a brief introduction to Kuali Rice, followed by a discussion of the issues surrounding the use of Rice as an enterprise middleware infrastructure, supporting applications beyond those developed by the Kuali Foundation.
    • University of California: Assessment of Kuali Rice for Single and Multiple Campus Applications
  • Working group time to push the topic forward and define future activities (if any) that ITANA should take on.

5/10 Feed Back Session

  • Give a short, 5 minute, presentation and get 10 minutes of feedback from the attendees. Do you have something you are working on? Want to get a quick check on your roadmap? Need to get past a sticking point?

SOA and Interoperability - Tom Dopirak, Chair

  • This session will study the use of SOA and Federation practices and technologies in the context of a particular "sourcing " problem in higher education. This session looks at the potential of a single institution hosting undergraduate email for multiple institutions rather than using a commercial provider such as Google. The session is not concerned with aspects of economics or differences in policies but rather how existing practices in federation and SOA might apply to a problem that spans the higher education community. Possible deliverables include a list of services that need to be provided by each participating institution, a list of services that might be provided by other parties such as InCommon , a list of proven technologies that would apply to this problem and the kind of governance that would be necessary for higher education to operate such a service.
  • Working group time to push the topic forward and define future activities (if any) that ITANA should take on.
