Discussions with Marij Veuglers, University of Amsterdam

I have started useful discussions with Marij Veugelers of the University of Amsterdam. Marij heads up the NL Portfolio Group.

The University of Amsterdam is a large metropolitan, old, research-intensive university. They use U-Portal and are starting to trial Sakai. They have been experimenting with OSP for about 18 months. Marij is interested in developing cooperative/collaborative relationships in the UK around OSP/Sakai. We are concerned about the slow "productisation" of OSP. Marij would like to establish a library of European OSP 2.1.x templates both for illustrative purposes as well as for re-use.

I provided Marij with links to our Project blog and reports.
