Gettysburg Portals Conference Update
Jasig Executive Director Jonathan Markow and uPortal steering committee member Andrew Petro both had the pleasure of attending the Gettysburg College Portal 2009 conference. Jonathan gave an all-conference session on the future of the higher education portal and Andrew gave presentations on the portal as the user interface to a services-oriented architecture, on what's new in uPortal, and on open source options for single sign on (CAS and Shibboleth). The conference also featured a presentation on using Google Analytics and Jasig CAS with the uPortal-based Luminis IV portal product. Jasig's growing collection of free and open-source standards-compliant portlets were of interest both to uPortal adopters and to adopters of other portal platforms.
