Staff Development Time -- The First Week
Today saw the first installment of our dedicated weekly staff development time within University Computing Services. I participated in Shaun Gatherum’s demonstration of the installation of the Solaris 10 operating system on a Sun Blade 1500 CPU. Other staff members participating in this session included Ron Swartzendruber, Summer Runyan and Joe Crowe. Travis Knabe was also a great resource, graciously offering useful advice and technical expertise when appropriate. Summer had good notes that she had developed during past installations of Solaris through a “flash� configuration on her Sun CPU. In addition, Google was helpful as we worked through a few challenges. Shaun successfully installed Solaris 10 today and he plans to install Oracle 10g next week.
Dedicating a set time each week for staff development is an excellent idea. This will provide me with an excellent opportunity to learn new skills and concepts, as well as to develop a greater awareness of the kinds of projects being managed within UCS.
