Dear Colleague (with apologies to those of you who receive
duplicates of this message):
The JA-SIG Conference Program Committee is pleased to announce the
2007 JA-SIG Summer Conference, June 24-27, 2007 in Denver CO.
There are some exciting changes to this year's summer conference!
The conference has been expanded, adding an additional day to allow
more time for networking and additional presentations in the morning
followed by optional afternoon post-conference in-depth seminars. In
addition to topical presentations related to JA-SIG, Kuali and other
community source projects, we will host a track in collaboration with
the Sakai Project. The spectacular location for our expanded
conference is Denver - a vibrant city with 300 days of annual sunshine,
year-round adventure and the breathtaking Rocky Mountains in the
backyard.
We invite you to join the fun, learning and networking at the JA-SIG
Summer Conference at the foot of the Rockies.
Become an active part of this conference by submitting proposals for
half and full day seminars, presentations, BOF (Birds Of a Feather)
sessions, and show-and-tell kiosks and poster sessions using the link
at the bottom of this message.
We welcome your contributions in the following areas:
- Addressing the Enterprise
This is the track for enterprise strategies and partner-based solutions
where the topics are: making community source work in the enterprise;
investing in community source; governance, support, and risk reduction;
where policy, requirements, and technology meet; executive planning and
strategy; integration with infrastructure; the value of
service-oriented architecture and web services models; project
oversight, user requirements; working with functional offices; change
management; marketing and promotion.
- Projects, Applications, and Solutions
In this track the focus is applications and how they are implemented to
deliver solutions. Topics include project management, application
solution deployment, operational and configuration issues, load
balancing, portals and portlets, content management, channel
development, repository management, release management, identity
management, authentication and authorization, service-oriented
architecture, and database management.
- Design and Technical Development
This track covers everything to do with coding and the environments in
which coding is done, including the design process. If your interests
include building code, understanding APIs and protocols, or design work
that leads to code, this is the track for you. Topics include technical
aspects of Java IDEs, development frameworks, Spring, WSRP, AJAX,
Eclipse, Hibernate, Java Server Faces, WS-*, and Kuali Rice as well as
the technical underpinnings of services such as CAS and uPortal.
- SAKAI Project Topics
This track is designed for content pertaining to Sakai at all levels. A
special addition to this year's JA-SIG summer conference, it is
designed particularly for people who cannot attend this year's Sakai
Conference in Amsterdam. Topics will include updates and information
from the Amsterdam Conference.
Proposal forms, topic suggestions, and contact information are
provided on the JA-SIG Conference Website. Submit your proposal and
join the JA-SIG crowd in
Denver this June! For all the details, visit
