Registration for the Face2Face 2012 is now open at the EDUCAUSE site. The registration is separate from the main conference registration. The Face2Face 2012 meeting is a full day pre-conference meeting.

- CIO’s view on EA and Change Management – Laura Patterson, CIO of University of Michigan perspective
- Internet2 view NET+ and Shared Services – Shel Waggener, Senior Vice President Internet2
- Breakout / table work on these themes
- Architect’s leadership role
- Case Studies on “How you get architecture done”
- Sample tools,
- Governance
- Applied Architecture
- Case Studies – real examples of this working in the real world
- Exercises in personal landscape scanning and planning a response and feedback from the group
- Future Work
- What have you learned, what will you apply
- Where else would you like to engage with other members
- Agenda build for the (un)Conference 2012 (which also be held at EDUCAUSE)
(un)Conference 2012
Following the full-day Face2Face 2012 meeting, we are working on organizing a half-day (un)Conference to carry the topics from the Face2Face forward. This will be a deep dive into the topics generated at the Face2Face 2012. We are currently working with EDUCAUSE to arrange this meeting. Stay tuned for more info.

Dear all,
I will attend the Educause conference in Denver and registrated also for the preconference ITANA. I ran through the items on the agenda outline. All interesting themes for sure!
I like to express my interest in discussing the applied architecture (content of architectural products and techniques). Questions like what is the content of our repositories and how and why do they differ? What reference models do we have and how can we learn from each other? How do we classify our models along the enterprise continuum? How do we apply quality attributes in the enterprise, and at the domain level, and how do we align the corresponding requirements along the domains? Which are the main arch patterns of our (e.g. infrastructure) architecture? How do we map architecture on technical construction? Etcetera.
I am interested in the applied architecture because nowadays architecture has to prove that it is valuable. And that we can only reach that by making high quality architecture products. So having a focus on the architectural content. Currently many organisations state their willingness to work under architecture. And many organisations are busy with (the organisation of) governance of the architectural proces. But … how does that work out when high quality architectural content is not there?!
The international group of architects working in different institutional settings, might be an exiting setting discuss questions mentioned above.
Best regards, Joyce Nijkamp
