License Server Migration
Over the next 2 days (August 23-25), CGA will finalize the ESRI, FME and Leica site license server migration. This means that all Harvard and affiliates covered under the site license agreement should point their Desktop Administrators to esri-lm.harvard.edu. A backup server is available and is named esri-lm2.hul.harvard.edu. Please use the primary server as not all licenses are available on the backup server all of the time.
We apologize for any inconvenience. Should you notice a disruption in your license server access please make sure you are pointing to esri-lm.harvard.edu before contacting us at contact@cga.harvard.edu.
Personnel Changes
In early August, Anders Hopperstead bid farewell to CGA. He will pursue a new career in the Northwest. We miss him here, and wish him well in his new endeavor. His position will be refilled soon.
In September, Molly Gowen Groome will join CGA as a part time GIS Analyst. Molly comes with a BS from Tufts and a MS from Duke, both in geology. She has over 10 years experience as a software developer, GIS analyst and webmaster. She will work on CGA website maintenance, software user support, and shared project work.

CGA is trying to compile a list of GIS related courses at Harvad for the fall semester. If you are going to teach such a course, please send us (contact@cga.harvard.edu ) the course name, course code, location, time and a short description of the course. Thank you.
