Seventh Annual "ESUP-Day" Draws 150 Participants in Paris

One hundred and fifty participants took in the 7th ESUP-Day conference held in Paris on February 3, 2009.

Some highlights from the conference, organized by the ESUP-Portail consortium, were:

Presentation of the new legal structure for the consortium and how member projects can attain consortium sponsorship;
Technical demonstrations of the new features of ESUP-Helpdesk v3, the new ESUP-Portail Horde packaging with DIMP embedded, a redundant CAS implementation, and the new Nuxeo-based repository and document management system;
Collaboration with the ESCO-Portail project - a project similar to ESUP-Portail but focused on secondary schools. ESCO-Portail is based on the ESUP-uPortal distribution, and relies on Grouper for group management.
