January, 2006 Create Functional and Technical Sponsor Groups (Appendix 1) to define principles, summarize needs and develop use cases
June, 2006 Sponsor groups present joint report (Appendix 2) to the FCET
  • recommend that "UCLA converge on a single open source platform as the standard campus solution for the CCLE course/collaboration tools."
