Hi all,
For the benefit of those that could not make the call, I wanted to recap my takeaways from the meeting. It was a great meeting!
  • We (all those present) intend for uP 4.1 to be production ready, although there might be some desired features still missing.
  • Major pieces missing that will be included and are currently being worked on are respondr theme, find/add content and layout customization.
  • Unicon continues to work on respondr.
  • UW-Madison is implementing a "favorites" and "marketplace/app store" concept as one option.
  • Technical miscellanea (which I probably get wrong): 
    • Continue leveraging jquery, jquery ui, bootstrap.
    • Move away from "theme magic" for adding functionality (e.g., header, footer, search, etc.) and towards defining more regions into which portlets can be placed.
    • Include universality, m-universality and respondr as possible themes (some debate as to what the default should be in 4.1)
  • A few of us will look at breaking the responsive design epic into separate epics and leverage the agile boards within Jira for this effort.
  • We will try to keep more of this traffic on list.
  • We will spin up topical calls or google hangouts as needed.
  • A number of us will be at the Apereo Camp in January and will take the opportunity to focus on identifying what we need to do to get 4.1 out the door.
  • We will look at having some type of virtual hangout on Monday afternoon of that week (1/27) that others not in AZ will be able to participate in.
  • UW-Madison will share more of their portal redesign effort in the near future.

Please chime in if I missed anything!

Sorry for the late notice, but Eric Goldman and I are organizing a phone call tomorrow for 3pm ET where we aim to discuss specifics around getting uPortal 4.1 out the door.
 - Current status of uPortal 4.1 work
 - What is in/out of scope for uPortal 4.1?
 - What needs to be done and who will do it?
 - What is the target release date?

If you are interested in contributing to this final push and want to be on the call, please send an email to Eric Goldman or me for connection info.
