This fall event will provide both spontaneous and planned opportunities to collaborate on all Jasig community initiatives as well as initiatives from other community open source projects. This year we plan to continue discussions begun at the June Internet2/EDUCAUSE/Jasig Identity and Access Management ACAMP, as well. Mark your calendar and make plans to join us! More information about the Unconference will be available soon. *WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?* It's up to you. Ideas people are talking about so far include the following: Lightning Talks - Volunteers talk for up to 8 minutes. Any topic goes. Workshops - Bring your uPortal, portlet, CAS, Bedework, or IdM code or design or requirements and work on them with core developers. Birds of a Feather Sessions - Discuss common interests, issues, problems with colleagues. Strategic Planning - What should Jasig be focused on next year? In three years? Join the conversation. Newbie? Meet the experts and get individualized help. How-to's. How-not-to's. Tips and techniques. The final schedule will be determined in real-time, interactively with the attendees. More information will be available soon.
