Jasig Information

Jasig is a global, non-profit consortium of educational institutions and commercial affiliates that sponsors open source software projects for higher education. We are a member supported, non-profit 501(c)3 corporation with the following mission: "Jasig aims to attract, advance, and sustain global communities developing enterprise-level, open source software that helps institutions fulfill their goals. We connect people, provide infrastructure, and sponsor events that foster innovation and collaboration." While Jasig focuses primarily on the needs of higher education, we recognize that many organizations other than colleges and universities find our applications to be of use. Many primary and secondary school districts have adopted Jasig software, and many commercial enterprises, large and small, now make strategic use of our products. Jasig's flagship projects include uPortal, an enterprise portal, CAS, the Central Authentication Service used for single sign-on and secure, proxied authentication, and Bedework, an enterprise calendar used for public events and personal and group calendaring. Jasig now conducts a Project Incubator designed to mentor new open source projects in building community, increasing collaboration, and becoming self-sustaining.
