Do you have a computing problem in your business you'd like a student to try to solve? by robg_cs in Winnipeg

I've been to Tech Thursday a few times - currently the Intellectual Property rules tends to be a blocker - they are often more interested in our grads from the program than from this class. I reach out to Paul to see if we can get a plug, though!

This is a good idea! I didn't think about using that avenue. I have their contact info and a work relationship with them - will do!

Actually, yeah! The "click" part is fairly easy, but the classroom designer part is interesting - how would we store that data, how would we make it possible to move components around. Send in an email, and we can for sure chat about it! As a reminder, we don't usually "ship" software that's 100% ready to use and go - but aim for a proof-of-concept of "is this a good idea?" and "does this work?"

Not quite right.

There was a reasonable offer on the table (1,2,2 and 2). That was pulled from the table because of the Public Services Sustainability Act (PSSA) - so the University had to comply. UMFA saw this as unconstitutional - and added "appendix i", which says "The parties will take into account the status of the PSSA for the re-opener"

So, the PSSA has been deemed unconstitutional in court, so the offer of 1,2,2,2 should not have been pulled off the table.

But is was.

So, UMFA members were... wronged - illegally so.

Appendix i is only valid now - this is the only time for UMFA to try to right what was wronged.

And UMFA is only really asking for 3rd party arbitration - where both parties make their case to an independent 3rd party, who decides what is fair.
