CAN’T FIND YOUR CLASSES? THERE’S AN APP FOR THAT!

SO HERE’S THE SITUATION § Bryan Dubno, creates UF Mobile § He is discovered by David Khey § While working on an unrelated project

SO HERE’S THE SITUATION: § Bryan Dubno, creates UF Mobile § He is discovered by David Khey § Who is managed by Doug Johnson § Who decides to try bringing this app “into the fold” (with Bryan’s & Dave’s support)

DIVISION OF LABOR § Bryan does the work § David brokers content with campus information providers § Doug navigates institutional interests

EMERGING FEATURES Campus safety § Class schedule, required textbooks, GPSenabled class locations §

BRYAN’S ISSUES § Bryan does not want to make money on this § Bryan wants to continue developing and retain control over development § Bryan needs introductions to campus information sources

IT ISSUES • No known/recent precedent for bringing this kind of independent student work under official auspices; • Need to ensure continuity of development and support should Bryan decide to move on.

PURCHASING ISSUES What does THAT mean? !? And how do we write the PO?

GENERAL COUNSEL ISSUES How do we license free software? Do we need to send this out for bids?

MARKETING ISSUES This app references UF!

STUDENT GOVERNMENT We want in!!!

COLLEGE OF BUSINESS Wait! How did you get access to our classroom lecture content?

EVERYONE ELSE: THIS IS COOL! Cool! ***** I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been late to class trying to find my way around. Thanks for this amazing app! Awesome! ***** Good beginnings to a very useful app!

THE PLAN Creative Commons licensing Want to pay Bryan something to recognize his work Parallel development: o Current platforms: i. Phone and i. Pod Touch – we want wider device coverage o Bryan to continue i. Phone app development o UF staff to develop web app android capabilities

WE’RE NOT THE ONLY ONES …
