Andrew Petro's blog

Inspired by Eli Cochran's fluid-talk post, I took a quick look at Wordle and what it says about my blog.

I look forward to attending PodCampAZ 2008, having enjoyed the event last year while volunteering at the registration desk.

uPortal 3.0.2 is a patch release incorporating significant performance enhancements and numerous other fixes beyond uPortal 3.0.1. Eric Dalquist today announced the general availability of uPortal 3.0.2.

I saw Steven Ryan of the Kaiser Permanente Hayward Physical Therapy Fellowship in Advanced Orthopedic Manual Therapy post job descriptions for a web technologist and an instructional designer on the Sakai open forum email list (there posted because the program is undergoing a transformation to move from a traditional classroom setting to a hybrid online environment using Sakai) and I re-post this opportunity here in order to help draw more attention to it.

I write to congratulate Scott Battaglia of Rutgers University and the other CAS developers on the successful release of JASIG CAS Server 3.3.

uPortal 3 ships with an attractive UI for adding content to a page, adjusting the layout of a page, and moving portlets around within a defined layout for a page. This blog post walks through these features and presents them with screen shots.

In which I describe uPortal's support for permissioning, using access control on technical information about error conditions as an example.

Someone asked me recently whether I think uPortal is a good platform for delivering a self-service portal. My answer is that it is, and in this blog post I explain why and give examples of how it has already been used to deliver such experiences.

I found the Millikin University community profile in the July 2008 JASIG newsletter to be a worthwhile and heartening read.

This is just a roll up of a few links about uPortal on www.unicon.net.
