[Using Sakai] Pepperdine University Joins Sakai Foundation Partner Program

[Regan, Alan]

Thanks, Josh!

We plan to have a birds of a feather event for all of us from Pepperdine, so you might just catch most of us in one place!  :)

Again, my thanks.  We've found the community very welcoming, and that's something we truly appreciate about Sakai.

See you in June!

P.S. If there are fellow Angelenos on the lists, please help with the gateway pages for the conference.  I just updated the transportation page tonight, but would love some assistance:

Alan,

Many thanks for this note and for all that you and Pepperdine have already done to support the project and community.  The decision to become a member of the Foundation is great and demonstrates your institution's commitment to leadership in this area of open-source development.

Can't wait to meet all 50 of your faculty members!

Josh

Dear Sakai community,

I just wanted to share the good news that Pepperdine University has joined the Sakai Foundation. In the fall of 2010 we decided to adopt Sakai as our official learning management system.  We fully transitioned to Sakai on January 1, 2011.  To support the great work of the Sakai community, we recently decided to join the Sakai Foundation.  We're very grateful for everyone's efforts making Sakai a great platform for teaching, learning, and research.

You can read our press release here:
http://services.pepperdine.edu/it/newsevents/news/2011/pepperdinesakaipartner.htm

In addition, we're excited that the North American 2011 Sakai Conference will be in our backyard, Los Angeles, California!  Don't be surprised if you see several people from Pepperdine at the event.  We invited over 50 of our university faculty and staff members to participate in this year's Sakai conference.  So that you have a great visit to Los Angeles, we've also contributed to the "Dining and Things to Do" page of the conference gateway wiki.
