Update: The LMOS Project Vision and Mission Statements are now in HTML format on the project wiki.
I’m pleased to announce that the LMOS now has a home on Eduforge. This is an idea that really belongs to some of my colleagues at SUNY as much as it does to me, and I’ve been dying to give them the recognition and credit that they deserve. (Some of them are a little shy.) In particular, Patrick Masson and Bernie Durfee have been equal partners in working out the LMOS concept.
You can find the project’s vision and mission statements here [RTF]. We’re eager to hear your thoughts and suggestions.
Expect more announcements on this project in the coming days. We’re working on some partnerships that could be truly exciting.

Hiya,
You may be interested in the next generation ‘LAMS’ project as a concept you may wish to explore as part of your process development. http://www.lamsinternational.com/ .LAMS too is free and open source, so there may be areas of collaboration.
Best regards..Chris…
Hi Chris,
LAMS is absolutely on our radar and is, in fact, one of the communities we are particularly keen to work with.
The mission statement is a beautiful and visionary document, especially in light of the merger of WebCT and Blackboard last week. Hats off to Patrick, Michael and Bernie (and Ken?). I’ve posted a comment in the discussion forum attached to the Eduforge wiki.
