The Sakai Foundation is a membership organization with staff, contributing members, and a board of directors. The Foundation's responsibility is to use member dues to create conditions for the membership and larger community to create Sakai software. Sakai software is more than a world class collaboration and learning environment. It is a platform for innovation in collaboration and learning for teachers, learners, researchers, and other scholarly collaborators in higher education. The Sakai community is also a part of a larger ecosystem of standards organizations, other projects, other open source technologies, and communities.
