Resourcing issues

Report Date
June 2016

Unfortunately it is proving extremely difficult to secure resource (3-4 days) from Dev Tech, ITI Enterprise Unix or Tech Mgmt to deploy Discourse using Docker due to resource contraints.

During May Tech Mgmt confirmed they don't have experience deploying Docker Apps and suggested ITI enterprise Unix may be able to help as it is more their area (root access on the server is required during setup), but ITI Enterprise Unix are over subscribed for the next couple of months. 

Milestone completion has already been delayed, and they are in danger of not being achieved if we cannot get Discourse installed in June. Have asked Dev Tech again for help to achieve these milestones in June, as they had previously mentioned that it may be possible for a contractor with some Docker knowledge to deploy the application as a backup option if we were really stuck.

The university's Internal Communications Manager has expressed an interest in this project, and the Marketing section could potentially test the application - "There are are about 200 people around the university that have some form of marketing in their role and we are keen for them to have a space to share tips and tricks."
