Uccsc 2008 July 20, 2008

UC Santa Barbara invites Computing Services staff and managers across the University to attend the 2008 UC Computing Services Conference. UCCSC 2008 will be held July 20-22 at UCSB's beautiful oceanfront campus.

Our theme this year, titled "Now UC IT...," focuses on the life stages of IT services, from conception through maturity to legacy status. Each phase in the service life cycle has its own unique characteristics and challenges. With your help and presentations, we will explore strategies for shepherding IT services not only through a lifetime but through the transitions from one generation to the next.

In addition to the usual single-topic presentations, UCCSC 2008 will offer two new formats for sharing issues, insights, and expertise: panel discussions on a single service or topic, and seminars/tutorials on a particular technical issue or topic.

(This is open to all UC IT staff).
