As you may have read in a previous post, Josh Baron held a webinar about Marist’s move to Sakai last week. It was attended by over 80 people from the Educause CIO email list. I, personally, was laid out in bed with the flu and missed it!

Remember, the deadline for the 10th Sakai Conference’s early registration discounts are tomorrow, Friday June 5th! There are well over 300 registrants, which is great this far in advance of the conference, especially considering the impact many travel budgets have suffered this year.
You can register at the conference website.
Also, I wanted to let everyone who [...]
