The JA-SIG Spring Conference
March 1-4, 2009
The Sheraton Dallas Hotel, Dallas, TX, USA
The JA-SIG Spring 2009 Conference will be held at the beginning of
March in 2009. Once again, we have extended invitations
to our many colleagues in higher education community source to share
in the event, and we're working together to produce an exciting conference.
General Session and Keynote addresses
-
Monday, March 2
Disruption and Strategic Alignment: Information and Communication Technology and the Changing Fabric of Inquiry Presented by James Hilton,
Vice President and Chief Information Officer at the University of Virginia
-
Tuesday, March 3
User Experience is Everybody's Business Presented by Christian Crumlish, Curator of the Yahoo! Design Pattern Library
-
Wednesday, April 30
Universal Access to All Knowledge Presented by
Brewster Kahle, Founder and Director of The Internet Archive
The main Program is being currently developed in four tracks:
-
Community Source Management/Governance:
What are best practices for managing community source projects or their deployments on
campus? For encouraging adoption? For gaining acceptance and campus buy-in? For
engaging your community in the processes? Presentations for managers, team leaders,
executives, planners and strategists.
-
Design and Development: For developers, architects, UX designers,
testers. Presentations for people who build community source products, use them as a
development framework or want to learn more about doing so. These are technical topics,
tips and techniques, how-to's.
-
Deployment and Integration:
Presentations for people who need to make applications work on campus: developers,
content providers, team leaders, evangelists. In particular, we would like to highlight
work that integrates community source projects within the enterprise infrastructure
and with each other.
-
Multiple Audiences:
Presentations that span multiple projects or audience types. Community source project
introductions and overviews.
Supplementary seminars: Half-day Seminars will be held in the morning
and afternoon on Sunday, March 1st
as well as on Wednesday (March 4th) afternoon, presented by representatives from each
of the partnering
organizations. [See Details].
Post Conference Activity:
TBD
Poster Sessions: Once again, a community gathering area will be
set up for poster sessions. A poster session will provide a forum for presenters to
highlight their programs, projects, and to share their successful ideas with the
community. Poster presentations provide other conference participants an opportunity
to quickly and easily become acquainted with what others in the open source community
are doing.
More Information
The JA-SIG Spring 2009 Conference will provide an unprecedented opportunity to meet and
learn from each other.
We're hoping to see you there!
