JASIG Community,

JASIG has always been about people coming together to share and learn in an 
open environment, and this is what a BarCamp is all about. As demonstrated by 
the success of the Summer 2007 Conference mini BarCamp, the "unconference" 
format fits very well with our community values and goals. This year the JASIG 
Winter Conference will be held as a BarCamp instead of the traditional 
conference format. This event will provide opportunities to collaborate on all 
JASIG community initiatives.  There will not be a separate Winter Conference or 
Fall uPortal Developer Meeting.

What happens at BarCamp?
- stakeholders create project road maps
- developers discuss, design, and develop
- implementers share tips, strategies
- designers discuss techniques
- members chart out strategic direction

We are in the very early stages of organizing this new exciting event and need 
your help.

1) Please RSVP
Registration fees will be kept as low as possible and potentially zero. If you 
think you might attend please RSVP. This will help us ensure we have adequate 
meeting space and food. 
RSVP @ http://opensource.meetup.com/74/calendar/6047091/

2) When is the best time for the BarCamp?
There are always a number of events happening throughout the year. Please help 
us determine the best time to have the BarCamp.

3) Potential Hosts
We are looking for JASIG Member institutions to volunteer as potential sites 
for the BarCamp. If you are interested in hosting the BarCamp at your 
institution please let me know.

Best Regards,
Bill Thompson
