  2. Agenda • Bring awareness to the incubation process • Highlight recent changes to support communities of interest • Review the list of current projects • Demonstrate a few projects

  3. Why Incubation? • Spread the Jasig Community wealth to other projects • Ensure community guided development • Mentor and sponsor projects to be as successful as possible

  4. Incubation Goals = Jasig Goals • Robust projects • healthy communities • active governance

  5. Where are we? • Creation of Incubation Process began in 2008 • Began Incubating projects while creating process • Graduated Bedework Project May 2010 • Since then 6 portlets and now, .NET CAS client and FIFER, Community of Practice

  6. Who are we? • Susan Bramhall (Yale University) (chair) • Tim Carroll (University pf Illinois) • CrisHoldorph (Unicon) • Tuyhang Ly (Rutgers University) • Benito J. Gonzalez (University of California, Merced) • Steve Swinsburg (Australian National University)

  7. The Incubation Process …

  8. How to submit or start a new project • Go to JasigJira ( https://issues.jasig.org/ ) • Find the Incubation project • Create a new Incubation project - Candidate Proposal issue** Fill in Summary, Description, Overview (and other required fields) • If project is a coding project, begin process of signing ICLA/CCLA's

  9. Resources and Support • Mentor (who gets assigned your Incubation Jira issue) - will help you through the incubation process • Wiki (Confluence) - an area for project documentation • Mailing List - Jasig supported e-mail list support (hosted by University of Wisconsin) • Subversion - Jasig source code control repository • Jira - Individual Project Issue Tracking

  10. Exit Criteria

  11. Legal • CLAs • License / notice etc (mention licensing plugin)

  12. Community • multiple committers / institutions / adopters • future support

  13. Governance • Steering committee • voting • etc

  14. Alignment & Synergy • Integration with other Jasig projects where appropriate • Synergy with other Jasig projects

  15. Infrastucture • Wiki (Confluence) - project documentation exists • Mailing List - one or more e-mail lists exist (where this project can be discussed) • Subversion - project source code is checked into Jasig source code repository • Jira - project level issue tracking exists

  16. Communities of Practice…

  17. What is a Community of Practice • ObWikipedia: A community of practice (CoP) is, according to cognitive anthropologists Jean Lave and Etienne Wenger, a group of people who share an interest, a craft, and/or a profession. The group can evolve naturally because of the members' common interest in a particular domain or area, or it can be created specifically with the goal of gaining knowledge related to their field. It is through the process of sharing information and experiences with the group that the members learn from each other, and have an opportunity to develop themselves personally and professionally (Lave & Wenger 1991). • Jasig: A non-project group assembled to share information within and advance the state of a specific domain. A CoP will not write code, other than perhaps some proof of concept or reference work.

  18. Current JasigCOPs • 2-3-98: The 2-3-98 Project provides support for college and university administrators, managers, and practitioners wishing to take advantage of both openness - as an organizational and operational orientation - and open initiatives, in order to reduce costs and increase choice. • FIFER: The FIFER (Free IDM Framework for Education & Research) initiative is intended to advance the development and adoption of open source identity management software for higher education. This initiative is a direct result of conversations among identity management architects, application developers, and campus technologists who have identified a need for increased availability and promotion of affordable, sustainable, and suitable identity solutions for their campuses. (Also, FIFER-API)

  19. COP - Incubation Process • Somewhat lighter weight than for projects, owing largely to lack of issues around maintenance of code.
