[Building Sakai] integrating the USIP OSP and Sakai

[Cole, Ronald]

Thanks Alan!

Big Blue Button looks pretty interesting. I wonder how deeply it is integrated.
Working out the touch points between the two systems will be the most important place to start

BTW, There is a similar integration project going on right now that tries to combine Second Life and Moodle (called Sloodle) that has probably looked at similar questions.

To anyone on the BBB project:
Does it share user password/login information?  Or do people just authenticate to it separately?

Best,
Skip

Hi Ronald,

Welcome to the Sakai community. I sincerely wish you luck with your endeavors.

Your code reminds me of the contrib integration project for the Big Blue Button. https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/BBB. Perhaps Adrian Fisher or others pushing similar work can advise and share experiences.

Hi,

I'm not really sure where to start here, so I'll just dive in.

We have an open source project to allow anyone to create, conduct, refine and share online training simulations. We use it to help prepare people for peacebuilding missions.

More on the project is located here: http://www.usip.org/programs/projects/the-usip-open-simulation-platform-usip-osp
Our google code base is located here: http://code.google.com/p/opensimplatform/
A bit of documentation is located here: http://demo.opensimplatform.org/docs/index.php/Main_Page

I'd like to get it integrated into a product like Sakai, so that anyone who wants to use it can quite easily do so. It is also a JSP application, so maybe that might help.

Maybe if there is interest in this, would could arrange a conference call?

Best,
Skip
