[Portfolio] Sakai T&L Call and an Update

[Josh Baron]

Folks,

I wanted to note with those who participate in the regular weekly Sakai 
Teaching and Learning call that I will be away on a family vacation for 
the next two weeks and thus unavailable for the call.  Obviously, this 
should not stop everyone from getting on the call and discussing topics of 
interest.  I just wanted to explain my absence.

In addition, I also wanted to note that I participated in the OSP call 
this week and had what I felt was a very productive discussion regarding 
the possibility of some joint work between these two groups around this 
concept of "functional visioning" (i.e. new requirements gathering 
process).  As many know, the OSP group has been doing this type of work 
for awhile and has developed a methodology that I think could work well 
for a broader process.  Because of everyone's schedules at this time of 
the year and the upcoming Fall semester (for those of us in North 
America), we decided to not try and launch anything new now but will focus 
on engaging in early September.  I hope that those of you who have been 
regularly participating in the teaching and learning calls will consider 
getting involved.

Thanks and I'll catch up with everyone in a couple of weeks.

Josh
