I work for Linfield College in the ITS department where I spend a good deal of my time writing in Java. Most of what I write is in service of the administrative side of things but I also provide some technical support on the educational media side of the house. This is our first foray into Sakai and most of that, for the time being, is my responsibility to take care of.
