Governance Model Goes Before Board of Directors
The CAS community has been hard at work defining and refining their version of a steering committee. The steering committee is modeled after the uPortal Steering Committee (with some minor twists!). The governance model goes before the August board meeting.
Steering Committee Nominations
In parallel with getting approval from the JASIG Board for the JASIG CAS Steering Committee, we've put out a request for nominations (including self-nominations) for the JASIG CAS Steering Committee. Submit your bio, vision, goals, experience, etc. to Scott Battaglia. The JASIG membership will vote on the nominees to be included in the JASIG CAS Steering Committee. The goal is to have this in place before the October UnConference
CAS Roadmap and Planning
While the steering committee gets underway, a group of CAS developers, deployers, and other interested parties have started to have talks about the future of CAS. These conversations are open to everyone and the meeting notes are freely available. The last meeting notes are available here: http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/CAS/2008-07-25+Conference+Call
We encourage you to contribute however you can to this process, whether its on-list, on the phone, or via the wiki!
