Jason E. Shao » Portals (Thoughts and Ruminations, where I write about personal things, Rutgers, eLearning, JA-SIG, uPortal, Sakai, and other topics or commentary as it takes my fancy.)
Portlets2008 and CampusEAI Annual Conference Recap So… the exhaustion that was the combined CampusEAI Portlets2008 and Annual conference is now behind us, and it seems like time for some reflections and observations. Hopefully some of these items will be items which I expand upon at a future date, but in no particular order, dumped straight from my brain: JSR-168 is here! Everyone [...]
uPortal 3.0 GA Released uPortal 3.0 GA (General Availability) was released recently, congratulations to the entire team (and especially Eric from UW-Madison) for all their hard work and efforts.
Portals and LMSs (and Collaboration, SIS, Library, and other Suites) Clay from Georgia Tech shot me an email recently which spurred me to try and put to words how my thinking has evolved about the relationship of an enterprise portal and Sakai, and where these technologies and communities are heading. In general I think the focus of “enterprise portals” has always been one of integration and [...]
JSR-286 is Official - Does it matter? JSR-286 (the next generation Portlet specification) was approved last week. The major new features of version 2.0 include: * Events – enabling a portlet to send and receive events and perform state changes or send further events as a result of processing an event * Public render parameters – allowing portlets to share parameters with other [...]
Jason’s Employment 2.0 Well the questions are pouring in (mostly due to my tardiness in writing this kind of announcement) and so, without farther ado… What Happened? While it still feels a little strange to say it, as of 2 Fridays ago (2/8) I am no longer employed at Rutgers University. Over the last 9 years as first a student, [...]
The Ed Techie: What Mailbox limits reveal The Ed Techie: What Mailbox limits reveal: Grainne posted recently about the frustration of continually getting the ‘Your mailbox is over its size limit’ in our OU email accounts. I can’t tell you how annoying this - sometimes I am just trying to send a quick response to someone before I have to dash out of [...]
uPortal Catalyst Award Video Eric posted the video from uPortal’s EDUCAUSE Catalyst award onto Youtube:
JA-SIG Unconf: Recap So, the JA-SIG un-conference (even the working sessions) is over, giving me a chance to do some thinking and reflection about the event and its aftermath. Overall, the attendance, interest, and excitement demonstrated by all of the participants was pretty overwhelming. We had both more individuals, institutions, and organizations represented than we ever would have [...]
JA-SIG Unconf: Lightning Talks After taking out a while to do introductions and handle the administrativa (even unconfs can’t seem to get away from it) we’re into the lightning talks which I’m trying to keep up with to podcast. They’re going pretty fast, we’ve gone through something like 6 so far, and they’re coming up fast. Update: I was reminded [...]
EDUCAUSE Community Source Reception At the Community Source reception cosponsored by JA-SIG, Sakai, Kuali it was uplifting to see the number of people participating. CIOs, managers, developers, vendors were all present in abundance. It was also clear from conversation at the reception that open-source in the Higher Ed is breaking into new areas. While there’s no question infrastructure and [...]
