Newport Beach 1-2 December 2007 (Saturday and Sunday)

Newport Beach Project Coordination Meeting

This Project Coordination Meeting is for designers, developers, and stakeholders working on the various projects in Sakai. It is being held 1-2 December 2007 (Saturday and Sunday) in Newport Beach, California, prior to the 8th Sakai Conference. The goals of this meetings are to:

  • share projects' plans for upcoming releases, and
  • discuss cross-project collaborations and aspects of design and development that impact Sakai as a whole.

This meetings is not a replacement for discussion of these topics on appropriate Sakai email lists (e.g., sakai-dev), but rather are an opportunity to facilitate discussions via face-to-face interaction.

Meeting to be held in the Marriott Newportbeach Conference Center, in the Coast Salon 4 and 5 rooms.

Attendees

The Project Association column lists the projects that I believe you are going to be providing a status report on during the first part of our agenda. (If there is more than one of you listed for a specific project, perhaps you could elect one person to provide the overview?)

Anyone that is a Sakai partner is welcome to observe the meeting, however, space is limited. If we run out of room, we may have to ask those listed below as Observers to entertain themselves otherwise (surfing, anyone?).
