Not yet submittedCurrent activities:

Tackled a number of development tasks in the Sakai code:

  • Improved Search service by upgrading to a newer version of Lucene (2.2), updating a number of content digester and addressing some scaleability issues. Work is ongoing.
  • Helped to improve the Chat tool by fixing a number of reliability issues, and reviewing and committing code contributions. Currently doing some further work on Chat aimed at eliminating internal tool iframes, and implementing some entitybroker support.
  • Fixed some issues in the code base which were holding up the 2-6-x release, including completing work and testing delayed event notification.

Advocacy work has included:

  • Organized Sakai South Africa workshops in March 2009, to discuss future directions focusing on Sakai 3, and joint work amongst Sakai SA institutions.
  • Presented Sakai to an e-learning workshop at SITA (the State IT Agency) in December 2008.

If time permits, I plan to pursue a JMS implementation of the events service in the 2.x (K1) code base, building on previous work by Thomas Amsler and Aaron Zeckoski.
