    • Will begin regular meetings with the students after Dec 11.

  • Provide APIs and better security implementation

    • We can provide the necessary data and security mechanisms to remove the need for screen scraping 

    • Google oAuth for authenticating the student which will be transitioned to the campus oAuth when it becomes available

    • The Student basic API was released today to allow them to get the perm from the ucsbnetid

    • Class schedule API is on the roadmap to replace the need for screen scraping the student schedule

    • Provide other APIs as needed - dining menus, events, etc. The dining menus API already exists and we are in conversations with Public Affairs and Associated Students to provide an events API.

  • Be the conduit between UCSB and the students.
