Hardware
- Memory and disk upgrades for older-generation PCs (currently 4G/500G -> 8G/0.5+1T)
- One additional PC (T1036 - DXR)
- Better graphics cards for the 8G/1T machines (most are using the Intel internal graphics)
- Better laser printer. (Brother HL4040CDN Colour laser?)
- LCD display for the T1042 meeting room, for demonstrations and discussions. (e.g., 42" LCD)
Dissemination/Awareness/Branding
We have a large window space facing one of the TEL entrances. We should take advantage of this to share what we're doing with our local community. We should also more purposefully brand the CDOT space.
- Window hangings/banners
- Large screen monitor or TV (e.g., 42" LCD)
- Large screen monitor or TV in the SCS offices? (This could be one that displays a slideshow from a flash memory device)
- Better CDOT signage
- A plaque for each cubicle
- A laminated sign for each PC (with changable details rewritable?)
Status Monitors
It would be useful to have monitors that continuously display the status of the CDOT systems in an interesting way (Processing.js?), including system availability (up/down), system load, disk status, and so forth.
- 1-2 older PCs to run the displays
- LCD displays (20-30")
- Cabling and signal splitters
Dissemination
- Poster printing for poster sessions at end of year
Travel
- Student travel
- Processing conferences?
- Future interns to tech meetings?
