Chuck, Jeff and Babi,
It was my pleasure talking to you both during my travels recently - Chuck in person in Edinburgh and Jeff & Babi via phone from Europe. As promised, I wanted to pass on a link to a white paper we just released on Blackboard & Standards as well as restate my invitation to host a meeting at Blackboard with Chuck to discuss how we can interoperate going forward. Finally, the second link is to the Blackboard SDK's for our various products - I thought it might be of some interest. I look forward to working closer with you each.
Warmest regards,
Christopher Etesse Senior Director of Technology Blackboard Inc.

This trend is driven to a large extent by the desire for systems deployers to easily enhance system functionality to more quickly and effectively support the maturing demands of LMS users. Three notable examples are referenced here:

Colleagues:
It looks like we have about 25 individuals (give or take) attending the SCP/SCA/Board meeting on 4/27/2005 from 1-5 pm. This includes the Board (9). See list below. At this point, I'd rather not invite any more people.
