  1. 2017 Annual Update - March 31, 2017 - Retrospective

    1. Release Notes Posted - See all feature enhancements and data fields.

    2. Bug was identified in International App supplemental questions during the 6.0 release - This prevented release of updates to IA only. 

      1. Had to roll back IA changes and schedule a "Patch Fix Release" for Friday, April 7. 

        1. Release 6.0.1 (patch fix) was successful and "zero downtime" - meaning we didn't have to take the site off-line during the release. 

        2. This method of "zero downtime" is what we are striving to achieve moving forward on Amazon Web Services (AWS) - our new, secure infrastructure & hosting service.

    3. Bug was identified in the new Homeless Youth checkboxes

      1. Release notes indicated these were "boolean" fields, but colleges reported these were breaking their downloads. 

      2. Development team reviewed and changed format to "string" format. 

      3. Updated the data dictionaries with correct data format  ("string" fields) and posted on Support Site.

    4. Need Online Tutorials for some of the changes = working on tutorial and documentation for "System-generated Emails."

  2. NOTICE! Upcoming Maintenance Windows: OpenCCCApply Infrastructure Migration to Amazon Web Services (AWS)

    1. Migration of Development environments (Continuous Integration = CI; Testing = TEST) were moved successfully between April 7 - 14.

    2. Migration of Pilot site - rescheduled to April 21 (previously announced for April 14)

    3. Production environment migration rescheduled to MAY 5 (previously announced for April 21) requires a 4 Hour Maintenance Window (after 6pm)
       

  3. RFP for Software Development - Update

    1. Working on contract for Project Management and reporting

    2. Gathering requirements for CCCApply 3.0, BOG, and International changes

      1. Scheduling a User Stories Summit for July 2017

    3. Integration requirements for OpenCCC Account system - first system to be developed

  4. CACCRAO Conference April 23-26, 2017

    1. CCCApply Update scheduled as part of the afternoon general session on Tuesday, April 25

    2. Michael Q., Stephanie, Michelle? and Patty to deliver the update - Need final meeting to review presentation slides

  1. Congratulations!  OpenCCC Wins CENIC Innovation Award

The California Community Colleges Technology Center has been awarded the CENIC 2017 Innovations in Networking Award for Educational Applications, in recognition of its groundbreaking work to develop a system-wide federated identity initiative - OpenCCC - for students across the CCC's 113 colleges.
