BOF session

  • By the end all saw it as positive
  • This is one of Jasig strengths that it brings to the merger
  • Sakai had bad experience with heavy handed product advisory board
  • Each project should govern itself
  • Maybe sponsorship is the end goal
  • What will existing projects need to do?
  • What is the "tool life-cycle" exactly
  • Incorporate 2-3-98 open source maturity model in check list
  • Need more mentors than incubation group
  • Value proposition document - for both sides (project and foundation)
  • Merged organization does not exist yet
  • New committee set up future process will include Tim, Susan, Cris
  • Patty will lead

Recruit one more person for this committee.  TO DOCris will troll Unicon for possibilities.

Student Success Plan

Susan BramhallRuss LittleActive progress is being made on many fronts.  Every expectation of meeting summer deadline for release of open source version of hte product.  Several sessions at the Jasig / Sakai conference.  IN PROCESS Susan contact Russ to see if he needs help.
INC-36uMobile, A Native Mobile App for uPortal Susan Bramhall Jennifer Bourey

There are a couple schools working on uMobile adoption, but no one in production yet. Adoption at many schools (like Wisconsin) has been largely held up by internal committees, politics, etc. I don't think we have any technical blockers. Hopefully we should have some live implementations by the end of the summer.
