Some things that made last week’s JA-SIG conference in St. Paul the best in recent memory:
- Eight higher education open source communities meeting together for four days
- Five executive directors planning ongoing collaboration
- Great moments in PowerPoint Karaoke history
- Many discussions on community source adoption strategies
- Terrific input from commercial affiliates
- Minnesota sushi
- Some stimulating panel discussions on open source issues
- Excellent progress on the JA-SIG incubation initiative
- uPortal 3.0!
- CAS meets Shib!
- Receptions, presentations, poster sessions, supplementary seminars, aforementioned karaoke spectacular, panels, birds-of-a-feather, Ira Fuchs, Kaye Howe, dine-around night, barCamp, uCamp. So many opportunities to mingle and shmooze; so many opportunities to learn and share.
My one regret:
- Didn’t make it to the Mall of America (Oh well…next time).
