Anti-spam countermeasures have been enabled and
are now fully employed on IPPD's GroupWise system in an effort to
thwart unsolicited spam and bulk email into our system. It has been a
problem for us, and it is now time to stop it in it's tracks!
This includes:
- OPEN RELAYS:
www.ordb.org
*Email server hosts that are open to use to send email, regardless of
membership, etc. - where huge amounts of spam and bulk mail are known
to originate from;
- REALTIME BLACKLISTS (RBL's):
www.spamcop.net
*Who specialize in building lists of known spammers - period;
- MAIL ABUSE PREVENTION SYSTEM (MAPS):
www.mail-abuse.org
*Specializes in educating and encouraging Internet Service Providers to
enforce strong terms and conditions prohibiting their customers from
engaging in abusive email practices (i.e.: spamming);
If you feel that OFFICIAL IPPD or UF BUSINESS EMAIL (only!) has been
blocked (i.e. - someone has repeatedly attempted to send an email to
your IPPD email account and yet it never gets through) - it is probably
being blocked by one of the above services.
To request that an exception be made, please send an email to:

Room 175 down in NEB is almost pretty
much ready for team use. It is usable now while there
is still a little more organizing and such needing to be completed.

I have added Pro/Mechanica Structure and
Pro/Intralink 3.3 for both 2001

choose your version accordingly.
Also - Pro/E web-based Coach (CADtrain) product and
IPPD's training
page have
both been updated. Please check it for pertinance to your project (if
any).

We are beginning to utilize the GroupWise
Document Management System/Library to post official IPPD documentation,
policies, training materials, as well items such as team "Final Design
Review" and "System Level Design Review" instructions, direct from Dr.
Stanfill - amongst many, many other items -- as they become available.
This library of documents is under a constant
state of change and flux. Things will be added and removed constantly.
Items that are put into this library are also PERFECT for you to use
for your TEAM BASED projects - or just as a secure collaboration
platform.
Everyone on an IPPD team can participate in a single document - like
final presentations, deliverables, etc.
Being a Document Management System, GroupWise
allow users to "check out" documents from the library, make edits, and
then they simply "check-in" and put them back when done. GroupWise will
keep track of each user's changes, allowing the coach and/or team
captains to "accept or decline" the changes of the document revisions.
A collaboration environment is defined as an
integrated set of applications that enable team/group-based:
- Document Management providing "revision
controls"
- Calendaring
- Task Management/Assigning
- Email
- Newsgroups
- Discussion board
- Sharing folders / proxying accounts
We also solicit
your input for things you think we should also include in this
wonderful resource, or changes you think might be worthy. Usage of
GroupWise will most defintely be a mandatory thing next year......so
why not take advantage of it now so that we can all healp make next
years IPPD more productive from the first day?
WHAT DO I DO NEXT?
When you open the GroupWise client, you will
have some "Shared Folder Notification" messages in your Mailbox. Simply
double-click each one (one at a time), and a "wizard-like" window will
open (Next button and all), and in that window it will basically be
asking you what you want to name the folder to, where you want it to be
created, etc.
NOTE:
I strongly recommend leaving the options, name, choices on their
defaults (exept for the "Description" field) - which are determined by
the sender of the Notification - so that if we refer you to it verbally
or in writing at a later time, we will inform you correctly and thus,
will be less confusing.
- For remote access to your HOME and COMMON
drives, a product called Novell NetStorage
should be available within a few weeks. I am testing it out at present,
and have discovered some small issues that I need to get resolved
before I make it live.
- IPPD Design Stations in 154 NEB are
ready for team use! There are some very important steps that
all students and coaches need to perform, and those can be
found here
(requires IPPD authentication).
- You will also need to install IPPD's
printer under your local user profiles on login as well, and those
instructions are here .
(These also apply to those of you who are
on IPPD's wireless and wish to install and use IPPD's HP LaserJet 8000
printer from your personal laptop).
- IPPD
Teams - Note the location of your first team meeting, scheduled for
9th & 10th period on Wednesday, 25 August, highlighted in yellow
