Just got off the plane and am at the hotel for the Sakai Conference (explains the flurry of blogging — no distracting internet, so time to write )
I’ll be out in Newport Beach, CA from Fri 11/30 - Fri 12/6. If you’re around (esp. Fri night) and looking for something to do give me [...]
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 [...]
Fourth Annual NJEDge.Net Conference | A Hard Eye on What IT Buys: Re-thinking IT Service Organizations:
“ad-hoc-cracy” and a a mention that only 2 industries (IT and Illicit drugs) refer to their customers as users highlighted this presentation. Overall the presentation was good, though I think at the end of the day, the audience question was [...]
This post is me catching up with my podcasting from the JA-SIG Summer 2007 Conference in Denver. Matt Raible did a rendition of his Java Frameworks talk, discussing his experience with the various Java web frameworks. I’ve attached an (OK) audio transcript of the talk, which Matt also blogged about at: http://raibledesigns.com/rd/entry/jasigcomparingjavaweb where he also [...]
> “Connected world, Connected Software”, “Open source produces better software” (81% of respondents via Gartner)
Matt’s perspective on focusing innovation on the “last mile” plays well with my thoughts on focusing on delivering institutional value. It’s interesting in that he combines that perspective with the pitch that open-source empowers you to build software to suit your [...]
Jens’s talk is focusing on Identity Management where he’s focusing on life-cycle of identity data. Looks like the talk is going to focus on moving towards user-centered identity.”Access to the right resources, to the right users, at the right time” — focused on providing, not preventing access (e.g. from a security perspective).
Authentication vs. Authorization is [...]
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 [...]
