e-Framework November 2009

We launched the e-Framework newsletter two years ago and are keen to know what you think of it. We’re also interested to learn about any preferred notification methods of e-Framework activities. Your feedback will help us to make the newsletter as useful as possible, and we would appreciate your comments.

The JASIG Conference, held in St. Paul at the end of May 2008 brought together several of the current or former Andrew Mellon Foundation RIT Strand projects, uPortal, Sakai, Fedora, and the Kuali Finance, Research, and Student Projects, together with representatives of other software communities, most notably those around CAS, DSpace and Internet 2. The JISC e-Framework Programme attended and presented a main conference track session, Birds of a Feather (BOF) session, and gave a poster at the main conference reception. Interestingly, several of the current Mellon RIT Projects have espoused SOA based or influenced design methodologies, and it provided a good opportunity to discuss potential collaborations.
