Meeting and group focus year 2020
  • Project focus
    • In progress - Drupal 8  (see also Drupal 8 Migration High Level Requirements)
    • Pending - AWS - migrate the Heroku code and the sql server database
    • Pending - Account cleanup automation
    • Pending - Identity integration and automation 
  • Apigee Support
    • 1 FTE on the apigee team to help with student development oversight and support
    • Now the students have to contact so many groups to have their accounts setup, an FTE can really help with that. Adding the functionality to developer.ucsb.edu to create accounts.
      • Drupal - OK to work with a student
      • For other projects like identity account creation and others it will be difficult to work with a student
