• Isaac, Michael, and Jason in attendance
• Place notes on cswiki
• Isaac and Mike to both interview staff in Grad Office
• Debbie Mustin may be a good resource
• Need to determine the inputs, the outputs
• First step is a plan:
  • Details of functionality (ie. what does the office do?)
  • Details of "backend" (ie. design decisions, data model)
  • How do we import data from the existing database?
  • Are there issues with integrating with other systems? (ie. data exports for Math Faculty grad office)
  • Are we going to suggest changes to processes in the office?
• Once we have a plan, we need to determine what gets done first
• Isaac and Michael to interview Grad office staff over the next 2 weeks
• We'll meet again June 7th at 1:30pm.
