  Nicole will check on the state level, i.e., Stonybrook
Experts group / experts list - How can people get technical support quickly from an expert near them? Discussion tabled for now. John and Pat may do some testing.
Shared workshop listing/registration site for all CTS/ANGEL/CELT/ORSP workshops
1. CTS, Ingeniux/web and CELT, ORSP all have separate registrations. It would be good to have a central place for all workshop registrations that would include a database to keep track of attendees.
2. Action items:
  1. Nicole will start a search for a commercial product.
  2. Pat - will create a web page with links to all registration pages plus a short url 'http://www.oswego.edu/workshop'
Winter breakout workshops: See http://www.oswego.edu/about/centers/CELT/wbo2013.html for a the list so far. Contact John Kane if you have an idea for a workshop and/or you would like to present.
1. Action item: Registration will be available soon.
Future Lecture Capture classrooms - CTS has about 15 classrooms set up with 6-7 more identified to be fitted with lecture Capture this spring. They are requesting guidance for the placement for the summer and fall. Total classrooms per year - 10.
1. Suggestion - ask chairs of departments.
