- What are the issues of sharing and reuse at UC Davis? [Recast as Framework for Efficient IT Application Development?] Identify the issues UC Davis must address to create an environment that facilitates the sharing and reuse of software. It is expected that an outcome of this effort will be additional action items for the SSWG and other groups involved with IT governance at UCD. Examples of such issues include:
- Vision statement
- Inventory of applications available / needed
- Common look and feel
- Funding / organizational
- Business processes not common
- Campus-level technology services (IAM, Rice, Data Warehouse)
- Knowledgeable technical staff and training
- Transition strategies
- Finalize Repository and Process for SSWG Standards and Guidelines. Develop a repository for recommendations, standards, and other information produced by the SSWG. Also develop processes for maintaining the information in that repository, including a collaborative process for vetting the documents and a periodic review process. A key aspect of this process will be to ensure wide dissemination of the vetted statements, as well as broad consultation in the vetting process itself.
- Guidelines for the Use of Source Code Repositories. [Recast as Software Management?] Now that some developers are starting to use external repositories like GitHub, we should establish guidelines for their use to ensure appropriate security and protection of University intellectual property.
- Define standard configurations for recommended application platforms. Develop recommended configurations and support infrastructure for the recommended platforms listed in Preliminary Recommendations for Application Platforms to Foster Interoperability, Sharing, and Reuse.
