I have been thinking a bit about how my new roles on the Sakai Foundation Board and Product Council intersect with my role as a blogger. To be clear, I intend to maintain my independence on e-Literate. I will continue to praise other platforms when I see something praiseworthy, and to speak out when I see something in the Sakai community that I think could be better.
That said, one way in which I might be able to usefully combine the two worlds is to use e-Literate as a platform for increased transparency into the Sakai community. There’s a lot going on that isn’t always obvious to many community members, never mind the general public. I’m going to do my best to bring some of these goings on to broader attention. And obviously, I wouldn’t be volunteering for the roles I’ve taken on if I didn’t believe in Sakai—both the software and the community.
All of this is a long-winded way of saying that I will be posting more about Sakai going forward, but that doesn’t mean that I’m going to stop writing about other platforms.
