[Cee-grad-students] DOWNTIME - 2/26/2025 - 8pm - All Linux Systems
by Janaka Jayawardena 24 Feb '26

24 Feb '26

On Thursday, February 26th, we will be patching all our Linux systems. Some urgent updates need to be applied. While the work will mainly affect Linux based systems and services, Windows users’ access to stashes could be impacted during the Linux patching. The work will begin at 8pm and components of the work could stretch on until midnight. The work involves patching and rebooting most Linux hosts (Ubuntu and Rocky9 distros). This includes file servers and computer lab Linux systems. Expect sporadic outages as the patching progresses. Systems/services affected will include: - linux.cs.pdx.edu - ada/babbage/dbclass/quizors - CS - CS Linux lab systems in FAB 88 - CS - linux.cecs.pdx.edu - ruby/rita - general MCECS - Linux systems in FAB 55-17 - general MCECS - phobos/deimos/mo/auto - ECE - openVPN - Linux home directories and research stashes - Windows access to project/research stashes We will work with our users on dedicated research systems to schedule an acceptable time to patch them. However, file server downtimes will also affect them regardless. Make sure that you have saved any open files and logged out before the reboots begin. If you have any questions, please contact: support(a)cat.pdx.edu -- Janaka Jayawardena IT Director - MCECS _______________________________________________ Allofthem mailing list -- allofthem(a)lists.cecs.pdx.edu To unsubscribe send an email to allofthem-leave(a)lists.cecs.pdx.edu

[Cee-grad-students] Elective Option CE 410/510 Sensing the Earth
by CEE Department 16 Feb '26

16 Feb '26

CEE Students, Dr. Jill Marshall is offering an elective this spring that is open to all civil and environmental engineering majors: "Sensing the Earth". The class will meet on Fridays from 11 AM to 3 PM (with breaks) to allow for field trips and substantive in-class work time. From Dr. Marshall: "You can read more about it in the attached PDF. The class is focused on developing site-specific sensor plans for 2 locations 1) near PDX with high liquefaction potential - and - where 90% of Oregon's liquid fuel is handled (eek!), and 2) at a landslide-prone site in Portland's West Hills. Like previous year classes, I aim to attract students from multiple complementary disciplines (e.g. Geology, Geography, Environmental Science and Management). Teams will workshop site-specific assessment and monitoring plans for the two sites based on analyzing existing data and after observations from field visits to each of the sites. At the landslide site, we will work with landslide experts from the OR Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMAI) to restore some of the existing site sensors. Do reach out if you have questions at jillmar(a)pdx.edu Jill" -- Are you a current PSU CEE student?
