Thinking about things to do for the new JA-SIG. Some talk on various topics related to un-conferences, and other bits. There was actually a lot of interesting discussion about regional conferences, video meetings, un-conferences, events focused on collaborating on whitepages, etc. I’ll updated with an audio transcript… uhhh… when I get a chance…
Chuck is talking a bit more about his experience with portlets, and the implications for uPortal, Sakai, etc.
Sakai portlet notes: * Preferences - site.upd to change * Edit Mode - site.upd again * isUserInRole() mapped to Sakai permissions site.upd, content.read, etc.
The isUserInRole() mapping seems a little counter-intuitive — seems like really portlet.xml should be mapped to a particular [...]
Listening to Phil’s keynote. Will be trying to post video and audio at some point — in the meantime, there’s a good thread about reputation and privacy.
Update: Posted very rough audio recording of the keynote, also available as part of the podcast.
Made it into JA-SIG: ran into Susan on the flight from Newark, which was kind of surreal. The irony was that immediately before seeing her at the gate, I was thinking to myself how strange it is that I’ve never run into anyone else I knew while travelling out to one of these conferences.
Arriving at [...]
An Agile Update for Mansueto Digital: Here’s an update: we’ve been running one of the most complex projects ever undertaken in business journalism, called the Inc. 5,000, using a variation of agile known as a scrum. Interesting to see software development processes being applied out more of a pure business environment. This kind of experimentation must be [...]
The flight into Amsterdam from Newark was about an hour late, unsurprisingly. Once here things were pretty smooth — the train to Amsterdam Central Station was very nice. Once I got to Central station, I spent a few minutes trying to sort out the right tram to take to the Movenpick for the Sakai conference, [...]

I want one…
At Portlets2007 I was talking with Greg from St. Thomas about Rails, and he showed me a Rails app he had deployed out using JDeveloper and OC4J — basically Rails inside a WAR file. Very cool — and apparently easy enough to do that he got it working during my session on PortletMVC. Not sure [...]
This was so cool: Phil Windley’s publishing event references as microformats (hevent) in his blog posts, and NNW picked them up and created a little “add to iCal” button.
This was so cool I had to ping Phil about it: I’m excited that it worked! I’m playing with it. I just wrote an Emacs [...]
via email from the Princeton JUG Another interesting resource for learning about Java and programming is http://www.greenfoot.org/.
It is an interactive learning tool that starts by having you build a game world with actors, using a GUI. Then, you learn how to enhance the world by using Java code.
It’s worth a look. At JavaOne 2007, the Greenfoot project was [...]
