...
[13:17:53 CST(-0600)] <athena> yeah 
[14:00:34 CST(-0600)] <athena> have you guys published the code for your HR portlets yet?
[14:00:44 CST(-0600)] <athena> thinking that that might be another good portlet to include as a mockup
[14:00:57 CST(-0600)] <athena> would give us some more interesting data for staff / faculty demo accounts
[14:01:10 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> no
[14:01:16 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> I've been too busy with our upgrade
[14:01:21 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> I'll see if I can find/make time for that
[14:01:26 CST(-0600)] <athena> no worries 
[14:01:31 CST(-0600)] <athena> just thinking about the future
[14:01:41 CST(-0600)] <athena> we need to re-poke jim about default layout suggestions too
[14:09:35 CST(-0600)] <awills_bbl> i don't think it's an issue to include portlets that are incubating... actually I think it could make a big difference in promoting them... persuating new schools to make contributions... it's nice to see a good buffet of options when you spin the portal up for evaluation
[14:10:58 CST(-0600)] <drewwills> and I suggest that backwards-compatible APIs are a priority whether a portlet is bundled or not
[14:11:12 CST(-0600)] <athena> i think in the past we've tried to include content that we can be assured will continue to be in future versions of uportal
[14:11:21 CST(-0600)] <athena> and i agree that backwards-compatible APIs are definitely warranted
[14:11:50 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> so here is my question
[14:11:58 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> why isn't the portlet past incubation already?
[14:12:01 CST(-0600)] <athena> though there's an argument to be made that for a very young project, it makes sense to take some time to work out the APIs with several different schools before making them so formal that we need to start doing work to make them backwards compatible
[14:12:03 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> what are the roadblocks
[14:12:20 CST(-0600)] <athena> i haven't looked at the JIRA, but one of the most common reasons is adoption
[14:12:21 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> if this is simply a matter of the incu committee needs to do a review and promot it
[14:12:23 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> I'm fine
[14:12:28 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> hrm
[14:12:31 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> I didn'
[14:12:35 CST(-0600)] <athena> and as drew points out, it's harder to get adoption if it's not included in the portal
[14:12:42 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> didn't realize that adoption was one of the criteria 
[14:12:46 CST(-0600)] <athena> yep
[14:12:55 CST(-0600)] <athena> and also contribution from multiple sources
[14:13:00 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> that can be rather catch-22ish
[14:13:04 CST(-0600)] <athena> yes.
[14:13:08 CST(-0600)] <drewwills> Manchester is using it, and there are 3-4 at least with ideas on the roadmap for it
[14:13:40 CST(-0600)] <drewwills> and I'd like to use it with a special project that's likely to start in the next few weeks as well
[14:13:48 CST(-0600)] <athena> do you know what's holding it up w/ incubation then?
[14:13:57 CST(-0600)] <drewwills> i don't actually
[14:14:07 CST(-0600)] <drewwills> let me see if i can find it
[14:14:17 CST(-0600)] <athena> maybe worth pinging the list if it's not clear
[14:14:25 CST(-0600)] <athena> see if they just haven't met on it yet or whatever
[14:14:28 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[14:14:32 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> if you could do that
[14:14:42 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> I'm guessing we can then green-light getting it bundled
[14:15:30 CST(-0600)] <drewwills> tbh it hasn't been on the top of my priority list to get out of incubation in the past... graduated vs. incubating doesn't stop me from deploying it with a school i'm working with... but I'm looking now
[14:21:01 CST(-0600)] <drewwills> so all the concrete bits are done... the other bits are kinda subjective
[14:21:28 CST(-0600)] <drewwills> https://wiki.jasig.org/display/INCU/Incubation+Process starting about middle of page
[14:21:50 CST(-0600)] <athena> maybe just make sure the JIRA is up to date and email the list?
[14:24:00 CST(-0600)] <drewwills> well it's a portlet so it would share the portlet-dev email list
[14:26:31 CST(-0600)] <drewwills> OHIO, Nazareth, SCSU, and Oakland have all expressed interest in using it
[14:26:48 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> I'm fine with getting it incubated
[14:26:58 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> it should also be getting moved to github with the rest of the portlets
[14:27:11 CST(-0600)] <drewwills> +1 github
[14:27:25 CST(-0600)] <drewwills> you mean fine getting it bundled, correct?
[14:27:27 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> and we need to make sure we're encouraging people to focus on this
[14:27:28 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> yes
[14:27:34 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> sorry
[14:27:45 CST(-0600)] <athena> yeah i have it on the list of projects to move
[14:28:07 CST(-0600)] <drewwills> cool beans... I just wrote benito G to catch up in the status in fact
[15:50:39 CST(-0600)] <Arvids1> for the reference: our uPortal 4.x version is in production now.... finally.... yay!
[15:50:48 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> awesome!
[15:51:24 CST(-0600)] <athena> YAY!
[15:51:38 CST(-0600)] <athena> just out of curiosity, are you using any of the mobile stuff yet?
[15:52:27 CST(-0600)] <Arvids1> just mobile theme (with minor modifications)
[15:52:48 CST(-0600)] <athena> cool
[15:53:15 CST(-0600)] <Arvids1> mobile part might be weak for us now, but we chose not to exclude it, but evolve it later
[15:53:52 CST(-0600)] <Arvids1> ... on the other hand there´s nothing much of it - it´s pretty ascetic (as it should be)
