On June 2, during the closing session of the Vancouver Sakai Conference, the Sakai Foundation Board chair Joseph Hardin announced the selection of Dr. Charles Severance as the Foundation’s first Executive Director. This culminates an extended public search process, the winnowing of applicants, and the interviewing of a number of exceptional candidates. “The Board and the Sakai Community are fortunate in having such interest expressed in its leadership, and in having such a skilled and experienced member of that community step forward. Congratulations to Chuck, and to all of us for making this moment possible,“ said Joseph Hardin, Sakai Foundation Board Chair.
“IU is delighted with the choice of Dr. Severance as the Executive Director,” said Dr. Brad Wheeler, Indiana University CIO and Dean. “He has the experience and skills to serve the Sakai partners well as Sakai strengthens its core collaborative learning environment (CLE) while developing richer engagements with the e-research, libraries, portals, commercial affiliates, publishers, and other communities.”
Oracle plans to assist in the development of the Sakai code, including soliciting requirements and design concepts from the thousands of institutions using Oracle technology and application products. Oracle expects to provide products and services that can integrate with the open source Sakai software, including Oracle® Collaboration Suite, Oracle Personal Portfolio, Oracle's PeopleSoft Enterprise Campus Solutions, and PeopleSoft Enterprise Gradebook. In addition, Oracle intends to join key discussion groups and, in the spirit of the open source community, participate in the planning process for Sakai's future product roadmaps.
