[Apologies for the cross postings] Good Evening Everyone,
It's time to start planning for the upcoming "traditional" JA-SIG conference, not to be confused with the "Winter Unconference" that's being held next month. Given the recent change in direction, moving from a twice-a-year traditional conference, to a once-a-year "Unconference" and a once-a-year "traditional" conference, the board looked to find a time when there would be few if any conflicts with other events in Higher-Ed. After researching alternate times, we have identified Sunday to Wednesday, April 27th-30th as the best possible dates.
In the spirit of collaboration, the board is currently talking with other higher education community source foundations and projects about developing a joint program with them. We are also interested in adding fresh new content, in addition to the already excellent topics around uPortal, CAS, and HyperContent - which attendees have come to enjoy and benefit from.
We are currently looking to assemble a committee for planning this conference. If you are interested in being a member of this team, please contact me via email at [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is a great opportunity to connect up with your JA-SIG colleagues and people from other community source efforts and to shape the next generation of traditional JA-SIG conferences.
Thanks, Aaron Godert JA-SIG 2008 Conference Committee, Board Liaison -- You are currently subscribed to [email protected] as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, change settings or access archives, see http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/JSG/uportal-dev
