Three weeks left to JA-SIG Conference!

[Paul Zablosky]

*JA-SIG With Altitude!*
June 24-27, 2007
Denver CO, USA

There will be more opportunities to participate than ever.

    * Participate in the Wednesday afternoon BarCamp
      (http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/x/gQIs^ )
    * Present a 10 minute kiosk demonstration
    * Feed into the conference blog space.

Don't miss this chance to catch up on the latest developments in the 
JA-SIG projects as well as the Sakai and Kuali projects. It's a great 
opportunity for Sakai users to get together stateside. Come join your 
colleagues in Denver for stimulating presentations and expansive 
networking opportunities.

With only three weeks left until the conference, there is still room in 
many seminars. We would like to highlight the following:

*Implementation Planning - Shelley McLaughlin (Wed 6/27 1:30 - 5:00)*
Implementing and driving adoption of an application like a portal takes 
coordination, effort, stakeholder consensus, and a clear implementation 
plan. This session is designed to help institutions considering a 
uPortal pilot or a production roll off get started on the right foot. 
Session attendees will participate in a mock implementation planning 
session where we will cover key topics and end user focused decisions 
that will need to be made prior to beginning of the implementation, as 
well as techniques and recommendations for facilitating a similar 
session on your own campus.

*Managing Web Content - Robert Sherratt* *(Wed 6/27 1:30 - 5:00)*
How do you manage your institutional and portal content? Come to this 
session to find out about content management systems, methods for their 
evaluation and gain hands-on experience using the JA-SIG sponsored 
HyperContent CMS.

*User Centered Design - Gary Thompson (Sunday 6/24 8:30 - Noon)*
How do you get students, faculty, and staff to want to come to your 
portal? In this engaging, hands-on session you will learn how to 
understand your users and design an environment they will adopt.
