Debates about Community Process
Submitted by khomotso on Mon, 03/15/2010 - 1:23pmIn the past month the Product Council has, for the first time, turned its attention to Sakai 3.

Rebalanced Energies
Submitted by khomotso on Thu, 12/03/2009 - 5:06pmI think I've (mostly) successfully rebalanced my Sakai time in the way I think I need to. My two main priorities are

Submitted by khomotso on Sat, 11/28/2009 - 4:06pmThis past Wednesday, in the waning hours before the holiday in the US, the Product Council gathered to reach its first set of decisions: what new tools and capabilities were ready to go forward into the 2.7 release.
