[Announcements] Sakai Quality Assurance

[Josh Baron]

My thanks as well to the University of Amsterdam and Alan for stepping in 
to take on this important role.  I think it is a great example of the 
power of community-source in general and our community specifically and 
its ability to fill gaps like this when they develop. 

As Brad Wheeler recently discussed at EDUCAUSE, "collaboration IS 
strategy".

Thanks!

Josh

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
