200907 - uPortal Steering Committee

ERP Integration update

In the past month there has been increased interest in creating a suite of ERP integration portlets for SunGard's Banner applications.  A number of institutions will be discussing this topic at the Jasig 2009 Unconference at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.  Please consult the Unconference wiki page for more information about the event:   

Call for Continuous Testing Input

The uPortal project is seeking input and looking for volunteers to help with testing.  To start out, we are interested in hearing ideas from you about expanding on and improving the uPortal testing process in all phases.  Please input your suggestions on a new wiki page created for this purpose:  http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/x/xomUAQ.

Developer Days opportunities at the Unconference

Do you use uPortal or portlets developed by Jasig members? Have you run into a bug or other issue that requires some digging into the code? Would you like to get some pointers on where to start and how to go about fixing bugs or enhancing Jasig software? Bring your favorite issues to the Developer Days following the Jasig Unconference. Core developers from uPortal and other Jasig projects will be sticking around to help get people familiar with the best approaches for finding bugs, addressing issues and getting changes incorporated back into Jasig projects. 

There are no additional registration fees for Developer Days.  Breakfast and lunch are provided.
