Preliminary Reports
Alan Berg
I am in the midst of writing the official Sakai book co-authored with Michael Korcuska. This effort involves the writing of 100,000 words and interacting with around 50 members of the Sakai community. I have donated one working day of my own time and the University of Amsterdam donated 2 days per week.
Further, I have also supported a Software Engineering Master student, Johan Flint during his study of Sakai code quality. His defence of the thesis is in March. I expect to publish one or two papers on this subject later with Johan Flint and Charles Severance.
I am in the midst of negotiation tutoring of two more Software Engineering students. However, that effort has not been finalized. I wish to pursue the analysis of code quality and the automation of processes. However, due to the focus on the book I have only a minimal amount of time to do so.
I have been in discussion with UPMC (Paris) about collaborating on building a uPortal 3 to Sakai connection. This work is at an early stage.
I am also involved as a QA server admin. However, currently the work does not take much time up.
In the coming months, I hope to finish the book and back to automating processes.

- Reporting of new bugs
- Fixes/patches for existing bugs
- Localization of 2.6.x
