As OSP 2.1 and 2.2 make full integration with Sakai a reality, the Open Source Portfolio (OSP) community faces a crossroads. In this session, options will be presented for further intergrating our community with the Sakai community. In addition, the direction of the development work that lies ahead will be discussed and plans will be proposed. Join us for this vital conversation as we shape the future of OSP development.
With co-presenters, Chris Coppola, Jay Fern, Wende Morgaine.

In this practical seminar, the architects of a Sakai adoption process dissect their implementation, pointing out critical mistakes that jeopardized adoption at a large, urban university. Mistakes made in the planning, communication, staffing, and technical arenas are then turned into lessons for attendees, enabling their success with Sakai adoption on other campuses.
