Plug for the Portal 2008 conference

In case I do actually have a reader or two, I'll throw in an ad for the 2008 Gettysburg Portal Conference which is coming up this June. It's a small conference focused around using portals in higher ed with a minimum of corporate involvement. (They can host talks, but only with a school) The main theme is measurement and assessment, but there's also going to be a fair amount of learning management system (LMS) and portal integration. I'll be doing a roundtable on "The Portal and the LMS: Ships Passing in the Night?"

You'll also get to see the hilarity of us trying to run the conference during a campus power cut that is needed for construction of the new athletic center. It should be over by the start of the conference on Tuesday, but we'll have no technology at all available on Monday or Tuesday, including email. Add good beer onto the list and what more do you need?
