You may recall that the Open Source Application Foundation recently received a $98,000 grant to help extend Chandler (their first product, a personal information manager) to meet the needs of higher education. They've now released a report that outlines their plans: Chandler in Higher Education - "Westwood". Westwood will build on the first full, stable release of Chandler.
After working closely with representatives from a number of universities we concluded there were four key recommendations for incremental functionality in Westwood:
- Nomadic usage and central Repositories
- Standards based Calendar Access Protocol (CAP) Client
- Full interoperability with standards based infrastructure
- Robust security framework
The full report is actually fairly interesting.
