  6. OWL Flight Plan – The Plan

  7. Decision

  8. Reasons

  9. Lessons Learned • Don’t expect LMS features to dictate the selection. • Consider whether you need an RFP before beginning an RFP • Open-source is a different culture (otherwise known as we are not open-source natives!!!!)

  10. Seed Questions • How is the migration going? • What about Sakai OAE? • Just because you can customize the LMS – should you? • What are the community’s expectations about open-source? • Any additional lessons learned from your experiences?
