Looking for volunteers to join the group (if interested talk to Pamela Quarles or RoxAnne Parker)
New Bloomfire Spark will be coming to the city soon (8/9/20 at 7pm)
Short Demo to show the new interface - will need to search through the filter
CTM hired a new Communications person for the GIS Group, Stephanie Gregory
Open Discussion to talk about GIS while working remotely
RoxAnne has lag at home, extra distractions, not as comfortable, likes to be around co-workers, printers/plotters, using Teams was a challenge, got a new home computer which is helping
Allison H. uses GoToMyPC to connect to computer, has a MacBook Pro at home, uses Teams on her home computer.
Daniel D. supervises 8 GIS people, all using GoToMyPC, mix of COA laptops and personnel devices. Maintaining a descent rate of productivity. Explored NetMotion to Remote Desktop but isn't working for most. GoToMyPC is laggy.
Dolph's group is using GoToMyPC, but he's using NetMotion and is hideous for him. Having issues with Pro throughout Austin Water. AW has a one device policy which makes things difficult. Looking into virtual machines.
Bryan PW - GoToMyPC, NetMotion with laptops connecting to the databases, Cisco AnyConnect VPN is working pretty good.
PW is using AGOL data vs. GISDM when only needing to view data.
I shared how I use GIS, John Cook is interested in the details, will reach out separately.
GIS Modernization Project - Shannon
Project is on track and in good health
More training courses are becoming available for Pro
CTM is seeing that some City computers are still below 10.6.1
Developing an SOP for transitioning to Pro, would like to add that to Service-Now
Planning Phase 2 departments in the next few months
Data Purchases
LiDAR request has been submitted, 4 points/square meter for watershed area, Full Purpose looking at 8 & 12 points/square meter unless it's too expensive.
Aerials, we are being included in the TNRIS aerial project, same area as 2019.
APD Architectural Review
Initial conversations with Esri about performance problems that APD is having
Meeting to get Enterprise requirements coming up

AGOL Committee
Next meeting on 8/19/20
New WebMap Viewer is up, talked about new functionality
Come to next meeting to discuss the new WebMap Viewer
Federated Login for AGOL, always had issues with other domains. They have added Azure Active Directory for login, and now everyone can use the Federated Login.
Janny has a list of the new compatibles between the old and new Web App Viewer
Can't currently add REST URLs to the new Map Viewer
Burn rate of credits is high for AGOL, wanted to let everyone know. We have been using more due to Geocoding for APH and COVID-19. Currently spend 1500 credits / day just on storage. (We need to clean-up our area!, can send an email to all AGOL Users to clean up their content.)
Geospatial Technology Management
Upgrading Enterprise GDB to 10.7.1. Any application or automation in MAINT, APP, or GISDM
Need to be up to 10.6.1 to be able to connect to SDE after the upgrade (need to get an install list from Scott again!)
We may have to go to 10.8.1 early next year due to Oracle upgrading
