[Building Sakai] Apereo 2014 Sakai bootcamp (Sunday 1 June 2014)

[Shawn Foster]

Hi, Aaron.

Thanks for offering this workshop. Will it be a "hands-on/follow-along" 
workshop or a "sit and listen" workshop? Do participants need to bring 
anything? What version of Sakai will be used for the installation and 
customization parts?

Thanks,
-Shawn
