Hi David & Physics Dept. Computing Reps,
I just wanted to check that there aren’t any objections to sharing the contents of the summary from yesterday’s meeting with other Departments?
Please let me know if there are, otherwise I will forward David’s summary to Suhail at the end of today, to give him an overview of the concerns from some of
us in the Physics Department.
I think Robert’s earlier comment about our “cost” of reacting to proposed restructuring of ICT is incredibly insightful!
Best wishes,
Rich
I am the Rep for the Dept of Life Sciences and look after the
computer systems for a number of research groups here. In
addition, I am involved in IT teaching for UG & PG students.
Therefore, very dependent on ICT and HPC support. The worst
aspect of these proposed changes is to see our ICT colleagues
I have seen the Open Letter (which I will sign) and your comments.
As with yourselves I am extremely concerned with the proposed
changes and in particular the (unbelievable) timing. May I please
trouble you to CC me in any general communications/meetings,
especially those requiring support.
At the moment I am trying to understand the practical implications
of these changes and talking with various people. Any further information
