Chairman:		Tom Murphy (Contra Costa College)
Date:		April 9, 2004, 10-2 PM, AA-216
Present:		Charlie Verboom (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory) Bebo White and Alf Wachsmann (Stanford Linear Accelerator Center) George Hyman (Silicon Graphics) David Evensky (Sandia National Laboratory) Mark Graham (Web Net Tech))
Pre-meeting handouts:		A packet of information containing minutes from the last meeting and agenda for this meeting.
HPC Job Survey:		We currently have much fewer respondents than we would prefer. However the results and interest level of those who have responded is quite high. BayITC is requesting its IT members to complete the survey. Another CCC emailing requesting survey response will be made to members of the various workforce development boards. HPC Advisory Board members will continue to seek responses from within their organizations.
Change to Start of HPC Program:		The Chairman announced to all members that the program start will be Fall 2004 instead of the original intended date of Fall 2003 due to budget constraints.
Changes to HPC Networking Courses:		HPC-150: LAN Overview (formerly called LAN Network Design) Board members agreed that the former title reflected a more ambitious body of knowledge than desired, namely to be able to design local area network. Rather, the course should give students an overview of the design of a local area network. This course is akin to a survey course in LAN Design. HPC-170: Routing and Network Analysis (formerly Router Configuration and Routing) Corresponding changes were made on this related course that will focus on expanding the important concepts learned in HPC-150 and apply them to a further understanding of routing and network analysis. Please see website for updated changes in course contents.
Changes to HPC Security Courses:		The Board members decided to beef up the Security Administrator track to make it a more specialized program, separate from System Administration and Network Administration. A good security administration would have the combined knowledge of a network administrator and a system administrator, in addition to specialized security information. HPC-252, HPC Security Administrator, is replaced with three security related courses. The first will be a general security class suitable for the other administrator tracks. HPC-106 and HPC-240 were removed from the security admin track, since they are not essential for a security admin. It also helps kept the number of units for the security track reasonable. HPC-175: Introduction to Security Administration HPC-264: Further Topics in Security HPC 266: Computer Security Forensics
Date of next meeting:		Fall 2004
