[sakai2-tcc] Letter to the OAE steering committee?

[Aaron Zeckoski]

OK, so how about this for starters?
------
What version of Sakai are you running in Production (as of Jan 2012)?
2.5 or earlier
2.6
2.7
2.8
2.9 or other unreleased version

When is your next Sakai upgrade planned to go into Production?
NOTE: Only consider Sakai framework version upgrades and not local changes
 Q2 2012 (April - June)
 Q3 2012 (July - September)
 Q4 2012 (October - December)
 2013
 2014 or later

What version of Sakai do you plan to upgrade to next?
 CLE 2.7
 CLE 2.8
 CLE 2.9 or other unreleased version
 OAE 1.*
--------
Maybe only ask about 2.6 and earlier?
Should we also ask if they are running a release or a maint branch? I
think this would be valuable to find out.

The suggestion of asking/making the OAE steering committee aware of the need has come up. The idea would be to explain that a failure of CLE would (1) erode trust in the Sakai brand and probably limit adoption of OAE and (2) damage OAE in the short term since it lacks most of the teaching and learning functionality that is necessary for schools.
