The Network Communications Community CAFE exists to provide a group for discussions of issues related to networking infrastructure, including design, configuration, networked devices and services, as well as best practices, guidelines, and policy. The NCC-CAFE provides advice to the Vice Provost for Libraries, Computing and Technology, as well as investigating matters related to the MSU networks for all members of the MSU Community. Each year, a Steering Committee of NCC-CAFE members reviews a list of topics proposed by members of the MSU community, and chooses those topics for the group to focus on for the academic year. Past topics have included: Developing guidelines for securing network hardware devices Developing guidelines for network use while traveling (in development) Creating a "state of the MSU Networks document" to describe the current state and projected future development of networks on the campus. NCC-CAFE needs your help. If there are areas of networking that you think need more attention on campus, or places where network guidelines should exist (or should be improved), please let us know. You can post a message in the General Discussion section of the NCC forum at http://forums.msu.edu or send email directly to me, the current NCC-CAFE chairman, at [log in to unmask] . Please feel free to attend our open meetings if you are interested in more information about the group's activities. I thank you in advance for any contributions you can make toward this efforts.
