PROMOTED!

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.

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.

• Source Codes at:https://github.com/EsupPortail/EsupTwitter, should this be moved under Jasig organization in github? SUSAN ask Eric and Jen.
• Wiki at https://wiki.jasig.org/display/PLT/EsupTwitter, but no roadmap.
• Project not yet created in Jira.TUY reach out to see if need to create this.

There is momentum building behind pulling together a plan for getting OR out of incubation, but still not official.

Student Success Plan

Still working on the governance model a little but we have enough people interested and willing to participate to have a great team. I think we are in good shape for having incubation tasks done by end of summer.
