The uPortal Steering Committee serves as the governing body responsible for the strategic direction and operational oversight of the uPortal project. The committee acts as an advocate for the project and helps to ensure its continued health and growth. Later this Spring the Jasig membership will elect individuals to serve aas stakeholder representatives on the committee. As committee members, these individuals will help guide the ongoing development and adoption of uPortal and its bundled portlets. They help gather requirements, monitor progress and work on other initiatives that help improve uPortal and the community. You can find more information about the committee at http://www.jasig.org/uportal/steering-committee. We are particularly interested in having more end-user representation on the steering committee - you don't have to be overly technical to serve! Stay tuned for more information on the nomination process.

Portal Administrative Portlet
Unicon's Cooperative Support team continues to work on UP-2047 (http://www.ja-sig.org/issues/browse/UP-2047), the creation of a portal administration portlet; please check out the working initial version of the new portlet in the uPortal trunk. Since the last contribution, they have fixed several bugs, integrated features added to CChannelManager as of the 3.1 release, and added support for internationalization. Currently, they are laying the back-end groundwork for the new portlet lifecycle changes described at http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/UPC/Portlet+Lifecycle. This work includes modernizing the channel persistence implementation to use JPA and Hibernate, which should allow us to eliminate a large amount of legacy code. Watch the email list for updates and contributions!
