 <title>Meet Dave Lyons, “Dean of Financial VPs”</title>
 <link>http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rsmart/kuali/~3/422015829/meet-dave-lyons-%E2%80%9Cdean-financial-vps%E2%80%9D</link>
 <description>Few financial officers have had as much impact on accounting practice in higher education as Dave Lyons. In 1969, while serving as Comptroller of the University of Rochester, Dave designed the first automated financial records system ever created specifically for higher ed. This system (which was developed by Information Associates and was initially known as FAS, then FRS, and finally FRS Plus) introduced financial offices to Dave’s simple yet elegant approach to the chart of accounts. Based on six-digit account codes with attributes, his approach was novel and controversial at first but was soon successfully adopted by financial offices here and abroad.   &lt;br /&gt;

 <title>Collaborative Software Development - A Must to Explore</title>
 <link>http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rsmart/kuali/~3/415248881/collaborative-software-development-must-explore</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
Collaborative development of non-strategic applications.  It's a mouth
full and probably the biggest opportunity for the CIO to reduce the
costs and increase the value of IT within their organizations.  There
have been a number of successful collaborative software development
initiatives using an open source development model.  Some examples: of
course there is Linux which is governed by what was the Open Source
Development Lab in Beaverton, Oregon (now The Linux Foundation ), and
the Eclipse Foundation an organization providing a universal tool set
for development of open source software, and one of my favorites the
&lt;a href="/http;//www.kuali.org"&gt;Kuali Foundation&lt;/a&gt; a consortium of Universities that are developing,
sustaining and evolving a comprehensive suite of admin&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.rsmart.com/blog/collaborative-software-development-must-explore"&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rsmart/kuali/~4/415248881" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

 <title>University of Arizona: The Implementation of Innovation</title>
 <link>http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rsmart/kuali/~3/339040615/university-arizona-implementation-innovation</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
As a leading public research institution, the University of Arizona must comply with significant and complex accounting and reporting requirements imposed by granting and government agencies. A number of years ago, the U of A recognized that their current system was not meeting departmental and institutional needs, and a change was required. Indiana University approached U of A about joining a consortium composed of innovation leaders in the higher education community, for the purpose of developing a software program called Kuali, an ERP system built to specifically address the business needs of higher education.

I'm headed to the NACUBO conference where I'll be speaking about the &lt;a href="http://kuali.org" class="snap_shots" title="Kuali community website"&gt;Kuali community&lt;/a&gt; with Kathleen McNeely (AVP at Indiana University and Kuali Financial System's business leader), and Rich Andrews, Controller at UC Irvine (an investing and implementing institution).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.rsmart.com/post/impediments-widespread-adoption-open-source-education"&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rsmart/kuali/~4/358118226" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

 <title>Architecting an open source software ecosystem</title>
 <link>http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rsmart/kuali/~3/358118227/architecting-open-source-software-ecosystem</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;I'm en route to Paris for the &lt;a href="http://www.sakaiproject.org"&gt;9th Sakai conference&lt;/a&gt; Saturday morning writing on the plane. Before boarding I ran across an interesting and very relevant post about the &lt;a href="http://robertogaloppini.net/2008/06/20/open-source-government-france-beats-italy-4-0/" class="snap_shots"&gt;French government support for open source&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The post describes a competitiveness cluster in Paris called &lt;a href="http://www.systematic-paris-region.org/en/index.html" class="snap_shots"&gt;SYSTEM@TIC PARIS-REGION&lt;/a&gt;, that has established a working group on open source (Logiciel Libre) who's goal is to &amp;quot;help structure the open source ecosystem in the Paris area.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.rsmart.com/post/architecting-open-source-software-ecosystem"&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rsmart/kuali/~4/358118227" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>
