Not yet submittedCurrent Activities:

• Branch Manager for 2-6-x; includes involvement in the 2-6-x release process (including calls and discussions.)
• Branch Manager for 1.0.x kernel and component owner for K1 components.
• Hosted Anthony Whyte on his visit to South Africa (he stayed in my house.)

Currently starting a project to port the polls services and tools to K2. The aim is to be a public "first user" and blog the experience so that the community can get more information on what is involved in the move. The project will be blogged at http://blogs.uct.ac.za/blog/daves-blog (syndicated on planet sakai) and already the first post is up:
http://blogs.uct.ac.za/blog/daves-blog/2009/04/04/paddling-in-k2-pool-part-1-preparation. Completion to some extent depends on the speed at which the K2 project matures.

Current 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.
