1. Sakai OAE 1.0.0 Released!

The Sakai Open Academic Environment (OAE) steering group and project  
team are pleased and excited to announce that the OAE 1.0.0 is now  
available.

This release of OAE represents the first production-ready version of  
OAE and emphasizes functionality for academic networking and  
collaboration. We recognize that as a version one release, it's merely  
a stepping-stone for great things to come, and hope that it encourages  
adoption and, crucially, increased participation in the project among  
individuals and institutions that together comprise the Sakai Community.

Sakai OAE grew from the hard work of a lot of people, not just those  
"officially" seconded to the managed project team, but especially the  
many volunteer contributors in the community without whom the project  
would not have succeeded. While the list of people who have helped to  
make OAE a reality is too long to acknowledge individually, I'd like  
thank you to each of you for your hard work. Great job.

2.  NYU Launches Sakai OAE 1.0 Pilot

NYU is pleased to announce its pilot launch of Sakai OAE 1.0. The NYU  
pilot will grow to around 6,000 users this fall for a mixture of uses,  
including courses, portfolios, collaborative groups, and academic  
networking. View a demonstration here:  
http://www.youtube.com/user/nyuatlas

The NYU instance of Sakai OAE, known as the ATLAS Network (Advanced  
Teaching, Learning, and Scholarship), is being developed and  
implemented under the oversight of the Sakai/ATLAS Working Group  
(SAWG), a cross-school, academic-led committee. SAWG was founded by  
ITS Executive Director David Ackerman and Liberal Studies Program Dean  
Fred Schwarzbach as a unique opportunity for ITS/academic  
collaboration in technology design and development.

Also included in the NYU Pilot will be the use of Grouper software for  
group management and provisioning, a disaggregated grade book in NYU's  
PeopleSoft Student Information System, an integration with our Kaltura  
video service, and an integration with an eBook platform from NYU's  
Library.

For more information about the NYU pilot and its focus on pedagogy,  
academic networking, and the creation of an instructional technology  
ecosystem, see the ATLAS Project blog:

3.  uPortal 4.0 Now Available!

Jasig is proud to announce the release of uPortal 4.0, the latest  
version of the leading portal framework developed by and for Higher  
Education! uPortal is a powerful, flexible, scalable, standards-based  
open source enterprise integration portal platform enabling  
personalization, customization, and integration. This major release  
supports version 2.0 of the Portlet specification (JSR-286), and  
includes new customization, groups, permissions and user management  
UIs. "Under the hood" improvements in the rendering pipeline and  
caching improve speed and memory usage of the portal. uPortal is a  
built by Higher Education for Higher Education.

uPortal 4, including a quick-start distribution, is available for  
download at http://www.jasig.org/uportal/download/uportal-400.  
Features, benefits and support information is available at  
http://www.uportal.org.

What's new in uPortal 4.0

Portlet 2.0 Support

uPortal 4 supports Portlet 2.0 (JSR-286), implementing inter-portlet  
communication via events, resource URLs for AJAX, and the other  
requirements of the specification. This means that adopters can build  
custom portlets using the latest portlet development techniques and  
frameworks, including the latest Spring Portlet MVC and Spring Web  
Flow releases (and thereby take advantage of Spring 3). This is a  
tremendous step forward in the portlet development APIs afforded to  
adopters.

Google Gadgets support

uPortal 4 also ships demonstrating inclusion of Google Gadgets in the  
portal, affording an API totally different from JSR-286 for developing  
custom portal-delivered experiences.

UI Improvements

uPortal 4 ships with improved out-of-the-box user experiences for  
layout management and administration, and provides a better starting  
point for custom skin development.

Mobile Support

uPortal 4 ships delivering traditional desktop browser as well as  
mobile browser-appropriate markup with jQuery Mobile support. uPortal  
4 also supports the optional free and open source uMobile native  
mobile applications. This makes uPortal 4 a viable platform for  
delivering mobile browser experiences out-of-the-box, and provides a  
path to even richer native mobile application experiences.

Internationalization

uMobile 4 ships with a new unified message file approach to  
internationalization support and improved i18n support throughout.

Integration

uPortal has long offered flexible and pluggable groups service, and  
now ships with support for using Grouper groups within uPortal.  
uPortal has long offered excellent CAS support, including support for  
using CAS proxy tickets in portlets, and now ships demonstrating this,  
as well as integration with the ClearPass CAS extension providing  
optional support for making the end user password available to  
portlets concurrently with use of CAS. Portlet Event-based searching  
allows any portlet to contribute search results to the uPortal Search  
dialog.

Data Import/Export

uPortal 4 provides improved data import/export formats, definitions,  
and improved support for executing on these imports and exports.

Administrative Tools

uPortal 4 ships with improved administrative tools supporting  
delegated administration of groups and permissions, as well as  
management of portal-local users.

Performance (and flexibility)

A refactored rendering pipeline affords greater modularity and  
flexibility, but uPortal 4 demonstrates the potential in this  
out-of-the-box by leveraging that flexibility to provide  
better-performing smarter-caching implementations of rendering  
pipeline components. uPortal 4 is faster and better under the hood.

Portlet Execution Management

uPortal 4 doesn't just support the latest portlet APIs, it provides  
great support for these APIs, with an execution environment that  
provides helpful debugging information when portlets timeout or fail  
and which cleans up after portlets even when they won't clean up after  
themselves. This makes uPortal 4 a more supportive development  
environment and platform for delivering your custom portlets.

For more information on the features and benefits of uPortal, see  
http://www.uportal.org.

4.  EuroSakai 2011 -- "Focusing on European Adoption"

Please join us in exciting Amsterdam, 26 - 28 September

Register on the conference website:  http://www.eurosakai.nl

The main theme of EuroSakai 2011 is "Focusing on European Adoption".  
Over the past years, Sakai has seen increased adoption by  
institutions, and the community has grown steadily. However, the  
adoption of Sakai in Europe lags behind, particularly in comparison to  
Northern America. At the same time, higher and tertiary education in  
Europe are also confronted with budget constraints, and the end of  
many existing product licenses. A number of European institutions that  
had previously not considered open source software are now starting to  
give it serious consideration. Awareness of the benefits and  
flexibility of open source, and the possibility of collaborating  
between renowned institutions, needs to be fostered in Europe.  
Meanwhile, policy makers such as the European Commission Digital  
Agenda are encouraging use of open standards and open source software.  
All summed up, the conference takes place at a time of great  
opportunities for Sakai.

Keynote talks:

"Welcome and the State of the Sakai Foundation"
Ian Dolphin, Executive Director, Sakai Foundation

"Shaping the Second Decade of Open Source"
Bradley Wheeler, Vice President & CIO, Indiana University

"Open Courseware Consortium"
Willem van Valkenburg, Delft Technical University

And a Closing Keynote by:
Charles Severance, IMS Global Learning Consortium & Sakai Foundation

There will be 40 sessions in 4 parallel tracks covering all aspects of  
the Sakai Community. You can see more information about the programme  
and venue at:

5.  CTools Mobile Officially Released to University of Michigan Community

A version of CTools (UM's Sakai implementation) for smartphones,  
tablets, and other mobile devices now is available to the U-M  
community. CTools Mobile provides an optimized view of CTools sites,  
allowing users to interact with course and project sites virtually  
anywhere.

The CTools Mobile portal was in beta testing over the last several  
months. With the latest release, the CTools team offers the UM  
community a solid and feature rich offering.

"We know hand-held devices like smartphones and tablets are the  
primary way many people use the Internet," says Sean DeMonner,  
director of Teaching and Learning for Information and Technology  
Services. "In fact, we surveyed a group of UM pharmacy students from  
one of our mobile pilots, and found that 90 percent would use the  
mobile version of CTools as soon as it became available. We knew then  
that we needed to work hard to release CTools Mobile this summer."

Sunmin Kim, a second-year graduate student in mechanical engineering,  
says she would "definitely use" CTools Mobile. "It'd be nice because I  
always use my phone for everything. It would be easier than going to a  
computer lab and logging into CTools there."

To use CTools Mobile, launch ctools.umich.edu in a mobile Web browser.  
The system automatically will detect that the request originated from  
a mobile device and will present the mobile portal. The primary target  
devices for CTools mobile have been iOS and Android smartphones and  
tablets, but the portal works in a wide variety of mobile browsers.

If one prefers to use the standard, full version of CTools on a mobile  
device, select the "Switch to Full View" button. There also is a  
"Switch to Mobile" button to toggle back to the mobile view. While  
nearly all of the functionality of the standard version of CTools is  
available via mobile, a few features are not supported in some devices.

7.  New OAE DEV and PRODUCTION Mailing Lists

New mailing lists for OAE DEV and OAE PRODUCTION have been set up as follows:

DEVELOPERS

oae-dev at collab.sakaiproject.org

Type: public list, public archives, moderation limited to non-member  
posts only although it is expected that "pilot/production-related"  
questions posed on the list will be re-directed to oae-production (see  
below).

Rationale: This list SUPERSEDES both the Google sakai-nakamura list  
AND sakai-ui-dev.  oae-dev will provide a single public mail list for  
non-security-related OAE developer/development conversations.  The  
goal is to encourage developer engagement across the entire code base  
as well as reinforce further the solid working relationships that  
currently exist between the UI Dev and Server Dev teams.  oae-dev uses  
the Sakai Community collab infrastructure and aims to simplify list  
subscription choices for new developers (e.g., go here, not go here,  
there and elsewhere).

Join: http://collab.sakaiproject.org/mailman/listinfo/oae-dev

Note: oae-dev has already begun to garner traffic.  See the list  
archives for current threads:

http://collab.sakaiproject.org/pipermail/oae-dev/


DEPLOYERS

oae-production at collab.sakaiproject.org

Type: public list, public archives, moderation limited to non-member  
posts only

Rationale: this list is intended for those who are responsible for  
deploying and maintaining OAE pilot and production instances.   
Installation, configuration, tuning, clustering strategies and other  
non-security-related deployment topics are the grist for this list.   
Apache projects, for example, try to route user-related questions to  
mail lists such as users at sling.apache.org in order to keep the dev  
list focused on development-related discussions.  We should attempt  
the same approach and route deployer-related questions to this list  
rather than oae-dev.  It will take some discipline to achieve as well  
as pointers for new subscribers.

I believe OAE deployment issues are sufficiently distinct from that of  
the CLE (despite hybrid or perhaps in part because of it) to warrant a  
separate list as opposed to using the existing [CLE] production list.

8. Teaching with Sakai Webinar, September 27, 2011

Dear Sakai Teaching & Learning Community,

You are invited to attend the new Teaching with Sakai Webinar Series  
that was proposed at the Los Angeles Sakai Conference in June.  Our  
goals for putting on these webinars are to expand our local  
professional development efforts and develop deeper  
cross-institutional collaboration and sharing.

We encourage institutions to set up "watch parties" with faculty and  
instructors so that you can participate both in a community-wide  
discussion and follow-up local discussions.  Contact us if you are  
interested in setting up a watch party for your campus so we can  
include you in a pre-webinar practice session. This is very much a  
grass-roots effort and we will all be learning as we go, so stay tuned!

UC Berkeley will kick things off by hosting the inaugural webinar:

---------
September 27, 2011 at 3pm EDT (12pm PDT)

Learning through reflective writing and immersion with social media

Bobby White is teaching a 10 week professional development seminar for  
faculty focused on the history and origins of new media.  The primary  
learning goals for her class are to:

- develop a greater understanding of the cross-disciplinary  
foundations of new media
- be able to utilize social media in supporting students to facilitate  
their own learning

This webinar will focus on how Bobby is using blogs and the Sakai Open  
Academic Environment (OAE) to meet these goals through reflections on  
readings, sharing ideas, and online discussion.

Register at:  http://teachingwithsakai.eventbrite.com/
---------

Teaching with Sakai Webinar Series

The Teaching with Sakai webinar series highlights effective teaching  
practices using Sakai from across the community.  Each webinar in the  
series will begin with a 20 minute presentation followed by a  
facilitated discussion.

This is an opportunity for you to take advantage of one of the real  
benefits of the Sakai Community, so don't miss out!
