We have some great keynote speakers lined up and a number of good session proposals have come in. We still have room for more and we have extended the call for proposals until next Wednesday, November 25th. I whole heartedly encourage you to submit a proposal on interesting work you are doing around uPortal, portlets, Java technologies, web development, or other open source topics. As you know, our community is very welcoming and presenting at one of our conferences is a great experience. First time presenters are encouraged to submit! We will be opening registration soon but in the mean time we are waiting for you to submit your session proposal at http://www.ja-sig.org/jasigconf/call-form.jsp?conf_id=jasig17   Get your proposal in now, before that turkey tryptophan kicks in!

The focus is on innovation this year. We'll be highlighting new and established work from higher education institutions:  Projects you should know about; local projects in search of community; creative work by established communities of practice; projects that exist only as a gleam in the eye of a creative developer. Come and see presentations and seminars on new technologies soon to impact higher education.  We're seeking talks on topics such as Scala, Spring 3, deployment to the Cloud, Groovy, Grails, REST, Jersey, mobile applications, etc. We invite you to propose talks, seminars, birds-of-a-feather sessions, demos, and poster session displays on new and current campus applications: Enterprise portlets, CAS, uPortal, Bedework Calendar, Identity & Access Management, Fluid, ESUP Helpdesk, OpenRegistry, Sakai, Kuali, Internet2 Middleware Solutions, Fedora and DSpace, and others. Talks will be presented in one of four tracks: Designing & Developing For developers, architects, UX designers, testers. Presentations for people who build applications. Deploying & Integrating For people who need to make applications work on campus: developers, content providers, team leaders, evangelists. In particular, we would like to highlight work that integrates open source projects within the enterprise infrastructure and with each other. Managing & Governing What are best practices for managing community source projects or their deployments on campus? For encouraging adoption? For gaining acceptance and campus buy-in? For engaging your community in the processes? Presentations for managers, team leaders, executives, planners and strategists. Looking Ahead What are the technologies that will impact higher education in the coming years? What project work, prototypes, plans, and local campus applications would you like to share with a community of your peers? Half-day Supplementary Seminars will be held in the morning and afternoon on Sunday, March 7th as well as on Wednesday (March 10th) afternoon. Proposals may be entered on the Jasig Conference Website.
