2019 Apereo Fellows

Julien Gribonvald

Julien works for the online education software service at GIP RECIA - a public interest group serving the Center-Loire Valley (France).  He develops, manages, and deploys several services (including uPortal) to more than 200 middle and high schools on a common and centralized platform. Julien is an advocate of open source, so it was natural for him to join the ESUP and Apereo communities. He is a uPortal contributor and his latest contribution is the esco-content-menu, a web component that allows users to customize the uPortal UI without requiring internal changes - that's the power of web components! 

Julien is also a uPortal Steering Committee member, an ESUP community representative, a coordinator for ESUP contributors, and an organizer of the uPortal Winter Summit in Paris. He enjoys helping generate interest and excitement within open source communities, and will continue to encourage collaboration between the ESUP and Apereo communities.

Martin Ramsay

Martin is the Managing Director of the LAMP Consortium (www.lampschools.org), a community of colleges, universities, and other educational organizations that shares a single instance of Sakai. Through collaboration, costs of hosting, support, and training, are driven down. By working together, the LAMP Consortium has grown into a mutually supportive community that genuinely cares about its members' success. The LAMP Consortium has been operating under Martin’s leadership and using Sakai since April, 2006. In 2008, the Consortium was given the Mellon Award for Technology Collaboration. In making the award, the Mellon committee noted that "LAMP has shown the higher education community that it is possible for institutions having limited resources to install, operate, and sustain even the most sophisticated software, provided that they work together to meet their common challenges.” 

Martin is also a member of the Karuta Project board. One of the LAMP Consortium schools, New Brunswick School of Theology, is using Karuta and Martin has been involved in helping broker and support the deployment.
