Sakai / Jasig merger impact on incubation

There is a document in draft but not ready for public comment.  It states mostly how the new organization embraces incubation and communities of interest.  I will be bringing that for discussion along with other people sometime in the near future.

New Incubation requests

Candidate ProposalINC-42Notification Portlet: A portlet for providing notification for upcoming tasks or events.. Susan Bramhall02/Nov/11This portlet can provide notifications for upcoming or recently passed tasks or events. It can be synchronized with a homework system so that due assignments appear, or to a news feed for current events. Developed for Manchester University, a Jasig supporting school.

Board approves promotion.  Need to poke one contributor for CLA.  Meets most exit criteria. There are no notices in the source files with .tag suffixes. A contributor, Jean-Pierre Tran, has contributed a french translation but does not have a contributor license agreement on file.

Benito JIRA the notices plugin and contact Jean-Pierre.

commented on INC JIRA - looking for feedback from Yale?  Should checkin be to GIT hub instead of svn?  Incubation committee will probably need to become admins of GIT

Pete Boysen

Has not heard from legal yet; however, development continues. A lot of bug fixes and wiki documentation (including videos).  They completed an internal grant application for more staff but didn't meet the cut, so faculty are now pursuing other alternatives. There has been more internal use for courses. Needs nothing from us a the moment.

Eric commented "I've added a NOTICE and LICENSE file and used the license plugin to update all source headers." This was the last requirement missing. Is this project ready for sponsorship?  Benito update Jira this week and Susan raise at board meeting.

Nicholas Blair

  • Nick and Gary Schwartz support the proposal to bring the Scheduling Assistant under the aegis of the Bedework Steering Committee.
  • Release 1.0 is now available.
  • Susan talk to Gary about updating name and scope of Bedework committee to Calendaring Applications Steering committee.  Should it calendar portlet be included too?
  • Is there a need to have another committer from another school?  A commitment to be supported if Nick were to leave would be enough.
  • Tuy will reach out to Nick and Gary about support scenario in case of Nick leaving project.
