2018-10-29 - GoGaucho Review Meeting Notes

• Greetings

• Potential Projects for the future
  • Real time bus map (SBMTD)
  • Registration Information
    • Pop-Up message before a class will begin

• Looking for support by just have access to the Campus APIs
• Have modeled their application around the successes of the Iowa State Student Developed App and Ohio State Student Developed App.
• Would love to see any support that the campus is willing to provide

Slides: GoGaucho Presentation

• The GoGaucho Team pointed out that there is an official mobile app from UCSB

• Campus Events
  • Is there an API being developed that would expose data from?
    • https://events.ucsb.edu/
    • https://campuscalendar.ucsb.edu/
• Students Schedule (ie. Courses)
  • This would remove the need of having to screen scrape Gold
  • It would also make it easier to setup notifications on the phone to remind students when they need to leave for class
• Alerting
  • Seth and Steven explained that it's a very difficult subject with many legal requirements around it and the campus needs to have a unified vision on it before any movement would be made on that.

• Heroku API
  • Needs to have Authentication added to the API endpoints
  • DDOS Prevention (Maybe Heroku already does this?)
• SqlLite on Phone
  • Encrypt Data at Rest
• Code
  • Separate Secrets out of the code base
  • Include Secrets in Build Process

• Depending on Campus Conversations
  • Sign Appendix DS

• Need to develop support to authenticate the user of the application (in this case the student)
• Is it possible to pull the JWT token for Google Connect's authorization service?
  • We would still use API Keys with the API Gateway, but the student would be authenticated through Google's OAuth endpoint?
• Re-prioritize getting the Teams Feature into the Developer Portal
  • Or, look at getting a Functional Account for the Team at the Campus Identity Level
