INC-22Deployer Portlet tim carroll Andy Gherna

Andy recommends terminating this or transitioning it to someone else. It's useful to the U of I implementation, but he doesn't have time to evolve it to something better and more
maintainable (Spring PortletMVC).  Change to unsponsored / community portlet and let portlet-dev and portlet user lists know.

INC-35ThinkSpace tim carroll Pete Boysen

Pete presented Sakai OAE to the faculty. It is a different way of looking at learning which Pete likes, but it is more a British than American approach and a harder to sell. The underlying software (Sling) is cool but he is worried about current performance problems and has questions about Sling adoption rate. Their Faculty are pursuing an NSF grant option that would be funded by several industries. It would provide the needed support for development on a longer-term basis. At present Pete is in a holding pattern maintaining the system; however, they do have users at other institutions (Clemson, UPenn) and interest from as far away as Australia. They have secured additional part-time developer. Not much Apereo can do at the moment.

INC-37Scheduling Assistant Tuyhang Ly Nicholas BlairNo changes.  Still no other adopters.
