Incubation for new organization
...
Unconference is in January then Sakai Europe conference is soon after. Process will probably begin in February.Bob, how is it going?
New Business
Benito notes: "I have not received updates in months, though I ask for status updates most months. Any suggestions on a better way to get updates?". This is actually not unique to his queries either so let's talk about what changes we can make. Jen Bourey's leaving Unicon and most of her Jasig commitments is also a gap we should consider.
Cris gets same lack of activity with Charles. Suggests moving his 2 portlets out of incubation.

Feedback on incubation from team leads from unconference:
Incubation process doesn't give portlet leads much value. Takes more energy to drive all the way through than is worth. What is the actual value of incubation? Indication of community and liveliness of project. This may make a big difference to people deciding to use portlet or not. Maybe be more careful about accepting projects - warn leads that it is work and can be an unsponsored contribution if work does not make sense. Perhaps there needs to be more visibility for incubating projects.

| Classifieds Portlet | tim carroll | Gary Maxwell | Tacoma Community College added themselves as a current adopter. Gary merged in some changes to improve the project (An admin is now able to perform updates or delete any ad, POM file is now performing the JSON library download.). Gary plans to starting incorporating Jira tickets for tracking new feature like these in the future. | |||||||
| ThinkSpace | tim carroll | Pete Boysen | A little up and down over the past few months since the conference. Pete posed a question about whether Jasig or ThinkSpace was getting what they expected out of the incubation relationship. We discussed this a bit, and I suggested the possibility of getting Ian involved in a strategy discussion. Noting that we could all get together for a chat about ThinkSpace and Ian could comment on Apareo commitment as well as any potential collaboration or creation of a community of interest to include ThinkSpace and Sakai CLE. Pete and his supervisor are going to discuss this as a possibility. In the mean time, University of Illinois CVM contacted them about using ThinkSpace as soon as this year, and the ThinkSpace team has sent manuscripts to an interested professor of family medicine at U of Iowa's Medical School who seems interested in collaboration. | |||||||
