Description:
Among the things we're planning on doing and will be discussed at the talk:

* Mail server upgrade: we'll go over what our plans are from moving from the old mail server (can you believe we've been using this one since 1999?) to the new system, including:
o new mailing list server with web-based management
o new mailbox host with web-based management and improved spam filters
o new web mail interface (you can still use your favorite mail client, though)
o user-friendly server-side filters
o multiple domains (mcs.anl.gov, alcf.anl.gov, cls.anl.gov, clownpants.mcs.anl.gov)
o no more home-made SSL certificates
o ... and much much more!
* Trouble Ticket System changes — phasing out the orphaned Req and what our options for migration are.
* Print server upgrade, including:
o single server for linux, Mac OS X, Windows
o no VPN or authentication from wireless required, regardless of OS
* Web migration, including:
o retiring old web servers
o migrating pages to new server
