Dear Colleague:
The JA-SIG Conference Planning Committee is pleased to announce the Spring 2009 Conference to be held March 1-4 in Dallas, Texas.
Following the great success of last year's conference, we are partnering with our open source community colleagues to create a forum for collaboration and learning. Join your colleagues from Bedework, CAS, DSpace, Fedora, Fluid, Internet2, Kuali, Sakai, uPortal and other open source projects, and submit proposals for a pre-conference seminar, presentation, kiosk, BOF or poster session!
We welcome your contributions in the following areas:
- Community Source Management/Governance
What are best practices for managing community source projects or their deployments on campus? For encouraging adoption? For gaining acceptance and campus buy-in? For engaging your community in the processes? Presentations for managers, team leaders, executives, planners and strategists.
- Design and Development
For developers, architects, UX designers, testers. Presentations for people who build community source products, use them as a development framework or want to learn more about doing so. These are technical topics, tips and techniques, how-to's.
- Deployment and Integration
Presentations for people who need to make applications work on campus: developers, content providers, team leaders, evangelists. In particular, we would like to highlight work that integrates community source projects within the enterprise infrastructure and with each other.
- Multiple Audiences
Presentations that span multiple projects or audience types. Community source project introductions and overviews.
Half-day Supplementary Seminars will be held in the morning and afternoon on Sunday, March 1st as well as on Wednesday (March 4th) afternoon.
Proposals may be entered on the JA-SIG Conference Website. Proposals require a Title, an Abstract (under 500 words), a Presenter Profile, and some basic affiliation information. This year we are also asking proposal submitters to select tags that best describe their proposals from a list of recommended tags.
Submit your proposal directly at http://www.ja-sig.org/jasigconf/call-form.jsp?conf_id=jasig15 or from the conference home page, where you can find all the details: http://www.ja-sig.org/conferences/09spring/index.html (Click the "Call for Proposals" link on the left).
We look forward to seeing you at "Higher Education Open Source Communities - Working Together"!
