Agenda

  • Roll Call; Choose Note Taker:  Jonathan
  • Review Old Action Items:
  • What to do about handling open spots? 
  • Volunteer Positions
  • ClearPass, CAS Client with uPortal
  • Strategy and Roadmap Document/Presentation (JJM)
  • "Bounties" for CAS deliverables?  (JJM)
  • Review the CAS Community Calls format (JJM)
  • Conference
  • Other Items

Notes

  • We will design a new process to elect a substitute when someone leaves the steering committee.  We'll ask the board to monitor the election rather than the election committee.
  • Scott and Jonathan will discuss offline and present a proposal to the committee
  • We decided NOT to rename CAS
  • Jonathan will contact marketing group about improving page ranking for CAS
  • We will repost the documentation position again in our newsletter and more widely (on lists)
  • ClearPass is dependent on a uPortal patch that supports the Jasig Java CAS client.  Scott is under the impression that this will be completed soon.
  • Marvin and Eric will work on a strategy statement for CAS; Scott and Andrew will work on a roadmap statement.  Jonathan will edit and coordinate with Marketing.
  • Bounties:  The devil is in the details.  How do we introduce people we can trust into the circle of developers.  To do this with a minimum of effort from core developers, we would need to come up with a proposal.
  • Jonathan and Benn will refine the current proposal that's out there.
  • CAS Community Calls:  JJM and Scott will work offline to come up with ideas to improve publicity.  Marvin expressed concern that the call could become unwieldy with too many people.  JJM agreed but thought we should aim for up to 15.
  • Conference:  How do we attract more CAS-interested people?  Marvin:  CAS is more of an enabling technology; offer presentations that focus on integration.  Scott:  PeopleSoft, Oracle e-business, Moodle, Banner.  Eric:  Get some of the supporting companies to show how integration works (e.g., Sungard does Banner integration).  We will think further on this.
