The JASIG UK (Java Architectures Special Interest Group) provides a regional forum for institutions implementing, or considering the implementation of portals and other enterprise integration activity across Further and Higher Education. JASIG UK represents a community of interest within the global JASIG, and as such encourages UK FE and HE institutions to closely follow and participate in JASIG activities. The group was formed at a meeting in Hull in November 2002 sponsored by The University of Hull Digital University Project, the JISC-funded PORTAL project and the JISC, and attended by over 50 representatives of UK Higher and Further Education.
Participants in the JA-SIG group try to meet several times a year, and over the last few meetings we've had more 'show and tell' type sessions. Accordingly we're trying to put more of the information gathered at these sessions into the larger JASIG community for anyone who finds it useful
Next meeting to be held 22 April 2009
Following on from our meeting last summer, the next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday 22 April 2009. For those planning their travel, it will start at 10.00/10.30 and finish by 16.00. It will be held at the National Science Learning Centre in York (http://www.sciencelearningcentres.org.uk/WebPortal.aspx?page=2). It is hoped that Jonathan Markow the Executive Director of JASlG will be joining us.
Could everyone who wishes to attend the meeting sign up on the participants page. If we could also add desired discussion topics and offers of presentations on the agenda page we can start to define the structure of the meeting and decide on a start time and an end time. Please note that attendance at the workshop is free of charge.
