Hi, I'm Andrew Petro, and I very much look forward to that introduction.
I've been very involved in uPortal previously, serving on the uPortal steering committee and as a release engineer, and I retain committer status on the project. Recently my career took me more in an open source identity and access management direction. I am however shortly joining the portal development team at Eric's previous outfit at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, in a Java software developer role, helping to derive institutional value from an ambitious uPortal deployment which is, as Eric mentions, a relatively sophisticated consumer of Pluto. I look forward very much to helping the University develop on an already successful institutional portal in my new role there, and to contributing to Pluto and, I hope, the portlet specification, these being strategically aligned with the continued long-term awesomeness and sustainability of Wisconsin's uPortal implementation. Thanks, Eric, for a lovely and generous introduction onto this list. :) Kind regards, Andrew On Mon, Sep 23, 2013 at 8:26 PM, David Taylor <[email protected]>wrote: > The Spec Team took a brief break in September, and will continue the first > week of October.
