[Portfolio] Sakai Conference panel

[Summers, Teggin]

Hi All,

As I mentioned in Monday's conference call, Marc and I are thinking of proposing a potential group panel, including other Sakai institutions and organizations.  I think we've changed our scope a bit, though, from the topic I mentioned in the call.  Below is our current draft of our proposal.  Would anyone like to join in?

We're thinking of proposing a longer session (potentially 2 or 3 hours), depending on how big of a response we get from the community.  If you are interested in participating, please email me (teggin at vt.edu<mailto:teggin at vt.edu>) as soon as you can so we know how much time to consider and who to include in our description.

Again, this is just a preliminary draft and is subject to change :)
