Chapter 16. Participating in the Sakai Community

This chapter discusses what the Sakai community is and how to participate in it.

The Sakai ecosphere is structured around a community source model (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_source). Sakai is distributed with an open source license whose legal home is the Sakai Foundation. The Foundation centrally coordinates project management for core features and sets date-driven targets for development. The core, enterprise-ready code has a well-defined software life cycle with a fully integrated Quality Assurance process. The combination of vigorous project management, a legal home for the source code, and a clearly identifiable Foundation enables large organizations to donate resources to the collective whole confidently. There is also room for individuals to do well and have a significant impact.

You can read an excellent article on the subject of community source by Brad Wheeler (Indiana University) at http://connect.educause.edu...
