Negotiate with IT Services for an external firewall hole, so that YSTV mailboxes can be read using regular clients or phones from off-campus. At present on-campus works, with this running to completion it's probably worth documenting how to set up external YSTV mail. | Negotiate with IT Services for an external firewall hole, so that YSTV mailboxes can be read using regular clients or phones from off-campus.

== Easter Refurb == | |||
'''Responsible:''' Chris Wall, Greg Ebdon, Liz Pascoe, Mike Chislett, Sam Nicholson, Matt Johnson | |||
'''Status:''' Scrapped | |||
Still known as the Easter Refurb, despite that holiday being long gone, the plan was to repaint both studio and control room, re-carpet both and generally make the place look nicer. Sort of a tech project. | |||
Currently Chris Teeling (ZFM) has provisionally agreed to fix our blinds but put the floor etc on hold for a little while due to the potential to move into a new space. It should be noted this is a very early stage, the idea to move was mooted but nobody has said yes in any way shape or form. The individuals listed above are working on details. | |||
Update 28/05/2013: Firmly scrapped, however much of the plan may happen in the Summer 2015 refurb of James Nucleus |
