[Announcements] Sakai Quality Assurance

[Michael Korcuska]

I'm extremely pleased to announce that Alan Berg will serve as Interim  
Quality Assurance Director for the Sakai Foundation. Those of you who  
have worked with Alan know that this is excellent news for the Sakai  
community. In addition to assisting with the 2.7.0 release Alan will  
make a number of process and technology change recommendations,  
especially test automation. He will also engage with the Sakai 3  
effort as time permits. Alan will be closely supported by Anthony  
Whyte in his role as 2.7.0 release manager. Over the next few weeks  
Alan and Anthony will work together to define an action plan that can  
be implemented with the active support of the Sakai Community. In the  
meantime feel free to copy both of them on questions you might have  
or, better still, use the QA list.

This arrangement is made possible by an agreement with University of  
Amsterdam who generously allocated Alan's time for the next few months  
to serve in this capacity. I'm thankful for their contribution to the  
Foundation and to the community. While Alan will still have some local  
responsibilities, his main focus during this time will be Sakai QA.  
Subsequently it is likely that Alan will continue to contribute to the  
QA effort, specifically in executing some of the process change  
recommendations he will make.  During this period I will be evaluating  
the QA role and looking for a candidate to fill the position in the  
long term.

Welcome aboard Alan!

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best regards,

Michael
