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 as 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.
