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 [...]
Blackboard Is Losing Customers, but What Does It Mean? at e-Literate
“The big loss appears to be unambiguously in Blackboard Basic licenses. One factor that theoretically might have contributed to this loss is consolidation of Basic licenses under a consortial Enterprise license. In this case, the loss of a license wouldn’t equal the loss of a [...]
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 [...]
Bottom line: scrub your certificates through Mozilla/Firefox. Keep reading if you want more background.
So I recently experienced an unreasonable amount of pain trying to import a Verisign certificate that was locked into an Oracle Wallet for use in the Tomcat SSL connector. So of course the decent thing to do seems to be to put [...]

Had a request today for how to get permalinks in Sakai. Since most of the portal generated URLs (at least down to the tool level) are already permalinks, answering the request was easy — but I wonder if this indicates that we need a Google Maps style permalink icon in the UI somewhere. Something that [...]
Working on upgrading from Melete 2.3 - 2.4. The code merges are reasonable, though there’s a pretty good number of small patches that need to go into Sakai from trunk (really wish there was a 2.3.2 that I could just update to instead of having to grab all the individual patches
While I like [...]
So I finished merging in the Samigo 2.4 changes to the Rutgers code base yesterday the instructions in the wiki were actually very good — one small mis-merge on my part, but aside from the self-imposed pain the merge went quite smoothly.
So far, the defaulting to off of the rich text areas is a huge [...]
So something I’ve always really wanted Sakai to do for me is allow me to link directly to a specific item within a tool, deep-link into a wiki page, or individual test or assignment (ideally with nice RESTful URLs, but I’d settle for being able to do it at all).
Yuji posted a note on sakai-dev [...]
Soo… yesterday I completed my 2.3.1 Sakai vendor branch merge, and it’s now up on a Rutgers test server. It’s been sanity tested, and is ready for further banging. Speaking of banging… it did take quite a few steps to get to this stage…
Note: 2.3.1 is a small merge, I think it was only about [...]
