Sometimes, I wonder at coincidence…
I was just about to post about an email that was sent to several JISCmail lists about an announcement from several major UK universities join up to form the Tetra collaboration (see the announcement here) and the work that their going to do in consortium with Sakai when, via Stephen Downes, I came across this interesting post from Alfred Elssa regarding where Sakai sits in relation to the broader e-learning community and the Blackboard patents.
Presumably, in light of the FUD surrounding the BB patents, both Sakai and Bodington are quite happy that their collaboration will not be perceived as a threat to BB. Or that they in anyway impinge on those patents (regardless of whether Desire2Learn can show that patents are groundless)…
