Email sent to Dr. Walker. Quick notes for everyone about the meeting with Dr. Newman:
Dr. Newman has issues getting data from the university, has been pushing for a UT Dallas API for some time
Dr. Walker would be interested in discussing our products as Dr. Newman believes our development process will lead us to creating tools that save significant time and money for the university
Dr. Newman has connections at the Microsoft in Irving that he may be willing to leverage to help our engineers improve our process (either workshops or company visit. May ask to be put in contact for cloud support?)
Dr. Newman believes that if our tools launch and address a demonstrable need within UT Dallas, that admin would have no issues adopting them as the standard set of tools that students are directed to when looking to degree plan, research classes, and more
Dr. Newman expressed slight interest at Jupiter, but only as a long term initiative as sharepoint is currently in place for the SOC and ECS is also working to implement it Dr. Newman thinks it will be very difficult to reach an agreement to get data from the powers that be without FOIA. However, he believes anything is possible if we "work our way up the totem pole" and prove that our projects have real value
