The SITTC meeting on March 3, 2004, reviewed key updates including the installation of a lift for disabled access, refurbishment of PC labs, and the acquisition of MATLAB licenses. It was noted that the budget is on track with planned expenditures and a wish list for the 2004/5 budget cycle is encouraged. Improvements in the ITNG reporting such as card key access, clustering of PCs, and a new fileserver named Venus were discussed. The group aims to refine equipment needs and enhance communication through new mailing lists.
