"An unconference is a conference where the content of the sessions is
driven and created by the participants, generally day-by-day during
the course of the event, rather than by a single organizer, or small
group of organizers, in advance."
-Wikipedia
JA-SIG has always been about people coming together to share and learn
in an open environment, and this is what an "unconference" is all
about. Many attendees at last year's unconference said it was their
favorite event of the year.
The October event will provide both spontaneous and planned
opportunities to collaborate on community initiatives and
topics.
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?
...
- Lightning Talks - Volunteers talk for up to 10 minutes. Any topic goes.
- Code Clinics - Bring your uPortal, portlet, or CAS code or problem
and work on it with Core developers - Screencast Factory - Show off your work while a facilitator captures
it to share with the community. - Designer/Developer collaborations
- Strategic Planning - What should JA-SIG be focused on next year? In
three years? Join the conversation. - How-to's. How-not-to's. Tips and techniques.
- See a list of ideas for activities and add your own:

As part of the un-conference format the final schedule will be
determined in real-time, interactively with the attendees.

2.1.2 CAS 3.2.1.1 Release and CAS 3.3-RC2 Release
...
If you've haven't been keeping up with Spring Security, they've recently released their version 2.0.3. Spring Security is a Spring subproject related to authentication and authorization. It includes the most recent JASIG CAS Client for Java. If you're doing anything beyond simple authentication, we recommend you take a look at the more full-featured Spring Security which builds on the JASIG CAS Client for Java foundation. http://static.springframework.org/spring-security/site/index.html

The uPortal steering committee is excited to see the JASIG web presence re-implementation RFP released, having worked to define the uPortal aspects of that RFP and looking forward to working with the successful respondent to improve the uPortal website. While that effort will more generally update the website, the committee most recently has been specifically looking at the CAS project roadmap page and effort with jealousy and is working to implement a similar roadmap page and effort for uPortal. While uPortal's issue tracker already presents a technical roadmap, you can look forward to there soon being available a more articulate roadmap page as well.
