Dear Colleague:

Help us celebrate Jasig's 10th anniversary in San Diego with outstanding
speakers and special events.

The focus is on innovation this year. We'll be highlighting new and
established work from higher education institutions:  Projects you should
know about; local projects in search of community; creative work by
established communities of practice; projects that exist only as a gleam in
the eye of a creative developer.

Come and see presentations and seminars on new technologies soon to impact
higher education.  We're seeking talks on topics such as Scala, Spring 3,
deployment to the Cloud, Groovy, Grails, REST, Jersey, mobile applications,
etc.

We invite you to propose talks, seminars, birds-of-a-feather sessions,
demos, and poster session displays on new and current campus
applications: Enterprise portlets, CAS, uPortal, Bedework Calendar, Identity
& Access Management, Fluid, ESUP Helpdesk, OpenRegistry, Sakai, Kuali,
Internet2 Middleware Solutions, Fedora and DSpace, and others.

Talks will be presented in one of four tracks:

   - *Designing & Developing*
   For developers, architects, UX designers, testers. Presentations
forpeople who build applications.
   - *Deploying & Integrating*
   For people who need to make applications work on campus: developers,
   content providers, team leaders, evangelists. In particular, we would like
   to highlight work that integrates open source projects within the enterprise
   infrastructure and with each other.
   - *Managing & Governing*
   What are best practices for managing community source projects or their
   deployments on campus? For encouraging adoption? For gaining acceptance
   and campus buy-in? For engaging your community in the processes?
   Presentations for managers, team leaders, executives, planners and
   strategists.
   - *Looking Ahead*
   What are the technologies that will impact higher education in the coming
   years? What project work, prototypes, plans, and local campus applications
   would you like to share with a community of your peers?

Half-day Supplementary Seminars will be held in the morning and afternoon on
Sunday, March 7th as well as on Wednesday (March 10th) afternoon.

Proposals may be entered on the Jasig Conference Website. Proposals require
a Title, an Abstract (under 500 words), a Presenter Profile, and some basic
affiliation information.  This year we are also asking proposal submitters
to select tags that best describe their proposals.
