2 JASIG Project Updates
2.1 Central Authentication Service (CAS)
2.1.1 Conference Update
CAS will be well represented at the upcoming JASIG Conference: http://www.ja-sig.org/conferences/09spring/index.html
There will be a seminar on deploying CAS3, as well as presentations about High Availability CAS, CAS & Federation, and an Introduction to CAS4. The BoFs, BarCamp, and developer days will give you a chance to interact with the developers and other deployers. Finally, we invite you to join us during the developer days to code and discuss both CAS4 and OpenRegistry.
2.1.2 CAS Server 4 Updates
Development on CAS4 continues at a brisk pace. Many of the modules have been converted from CAS3 to CAS4. JCaptcha support has been added to the web application and turned on by default. The majority of the new architecture is in place (it is currently being refined)

We apologize in advance if for any inconvenience but we believe this effort will help make the delivery of JASIG services more consistent.
Thank you.

If you're a new deployer, please contact Scott Battaglia (scott.battaglia at gmail.com) to let him know. We'd love to add you to our list.
2.2 uPortal
2.2.1 uPortal at the JA-SIG Spring 2009 Conference
The conference program is now posted and it includes a large variety of uPortal/portlet related seminars, sessions and "birds of a feather" discussion groups. The Barcamp on Wednesday afternoon of that week promises to be a great place to talk about portal development and implementation with your colleagues. After the conference, you can also stay for the uPortal developers meeting.
2.2.2 uPortal Developers Meet in Dallas
Following the JA-SIG Spring 2009 Conference in Dallas, on Thursday and Friday of that week there will be a uPortal developers meeting. This is an open meeting for anyone doing development related to uPortal. This can range from writing portlets, implementing uPortal at your institution, customizing the platform for your needs, or doing uPortal framework development. The two days will be very loosely organized and are primarily a chance for you to work in the same proximity as your peers. It is a great opportunity to share ideas or get assistance. Check out the wiki page http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/x/nwleAQ and sign up if you are going to be there.
