If you have any interest in higher ed open or community source, the direction of Jasig, or just open source sustainability in general (since CAS is used by a large number of non-higher ed places), I would encourage you to participate in the Jasig Strategic Planning Discussions.
I'll be joining for the one on the 25th (Jonathan, does this count as my email? :-)).

First, we have created a new mailing list that is open to all who wish to subscribe. It's called strat...@lists.jasig.org, and you can subscribe to it via email <join-jasig-strat...@lists.wisc.edu> or via web<https://lists.wisc.edu/read/all_forums/subscribe?name=jasig-strategy> . The strategy list will be a forum for comments, suggestions, discussions on topics related to Jasig's strategic direction. These include future directions, the value of Jasig, the *values* of Jasig, thoughts about alliances, synergies within other higher education open source groups, initiatives and strategies, and the like. You are also invited to participate in one or more conference calls scheduled during the remainder of this month. The calls will be one hour in length and will be a moderated forum for discussing ideas about Jasig's strategies for providing value, growing the community, and ensuring sustainability into the future. If you would like to participate in a call, please select from one of the date/times below and send an email to info at jasig dot org noting your interest. You will receive a reply with dial-in information. Local numbers will be available for some European countries.
