Bamboo and Changes at the Mellon Foundation

On January 5, 2010, the Chronicle of Higher Education published on its blog an article regarding recent changes at the Mellon Foundation and in particular, the closure of the Research in Information Technology (RIT) program. Although the planning project had been supported by RIT, the changes have had a minimal impact on Bamboo. At the end of December both the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Chicago were contacted by the Foundation and Bamboo was smoothly migrated into the Scholarly Communications program. In short, the transition has gone well and we look forward to working with Scholarly Communications into the future.
