Docker, a platform used to build and share containerized apps, has updated its subscription service agreement to prohibit free use by members of an educational organization who are not enrolled students.
Effective Dec. 10, 2024, CU Boulder faculty, staff, researchers and other non-students who download a Docker product for the first time or upgrade an existing installation will need to purchase a license for the product(s) they use.
Currently, OIT cannot offer Docker products at discounted rates. If you're relying on a free offering, we recommend exploring other free alternatives, such as Podman or Rancher.
For additional information, see the full OIT news story. If you have questions, please email OIT's Software Asset Management team at oitsoftware@colorado.edu.
After testing the new macOS 15 Sequoia for compatibility this fall, the Office of Information Technology is satisfied that the majority of issues have been addressed and Mac users on campus should feel free to upgrade to the new operating system. Visit the OIT website to learn how to upgrade.
With deadlines mostly in January and February, now is the time to start looking at opportunities for summer 2025 and find the best fit for you. Programs are offered in most fields of study (not just STEM). And most programs provide funding to accepted participants!
If you are an existing user of the Alertus mobile safety app, you should know that as of Friday, Dec. 20, 2024, the app will be discontinued and replaced with a new safety app called AlertAware Mobile.
Some CU Boulder faculty and staff members may have used the app as a supplemental notification for CU alerts and to communicate with building managers.
If you’re an existing Rave Guardian mobile safety app user, these changes do not impact you.
Here are five reasons to download the Rave Guardian mobile safety app, which also provides an additional way to receive CU alerts.
If you wish to continue to use the Alertus app, you will need to download the new AlertAware Mobile app. Download the iOS version or the Android version.
The Pain Lab at CU Boulder, affiliated with the Institute of Cognitive Science, is seeking participants ages 21–70 for a research study with non-invasive wearable sensors.
You may be eligible if you have experienced back pain for the last three-plus months. Participants will be compensated up to $360.
If you're interested, fill out the eligibility screening form. We will contact you regarding your eligibility.
Please consider participating in our study, Advancing and Validating Galvanic Disorientation Simulation Trainer.
In this experiment, you will wear a galvanic vestibular stimulation headset. This system senses how you are tilted and stimulates your vestibular system with small amounts of electrical current through electrodes based behind your ears, near your forehand and back of your head. The system is intended to make you feel like an astronaut returning from spaceflight. During the experiment, you will perform tasks like reporting how you feel you are tilted, standing balance, walking or using a joystick to keep yourself upright in a chair.
You will be paid for the time you spend participating in this study.
If you have questions, would like additional information or are interested in participating, please respond via email. The principal investigator for this study is Torin Clark. You must be 18–65 years old to participate in this study.
With finals week and winter break approaching, the CU Boulder campus will follow different building access protocols. Campus affiliates will need their Buff OneCards to access most campus buildings on many of these days.
University Libraries, the Recreation Center, the UMC and the Health and Wellness Department publish their respective hours on their websites.
For more information about building access protocols, visit the campus building access page.
