BlueSky: DePaul's Oracle Cloud system
BlueSky is the name of the Oracle Cloud platform that has been implemented for the university’s human resources and finance applications. In January 2021, accessing information and completing tasks related to human resources and finance at DePaul transitioned from PeopleSoft to BlueSky.
BlueSky offers DePaul a modernized and synchronized application platform based on an internet-based system vs. an intranet-based system for data applications (e.g., PeopleSoft). This cloud-based system offers many benefits to the university, including:
Improved self-service for employees and managers
Continuous upgrades and process improvements to maintain relevance and currency
Better access and use of data for decision making​
While DePaul’s human resources and finance data are no longer operating through PeopleSoft applications, the university will still be using PeopleSoft for other data needs within the university. For example, Campus Connect, which is built on top of PeopleSoft's Campus Solutions (CS) system, will still be used at the university.
The implementation of BlueSky is an exciting moment in DePaul’s history and nearly every employee in the DePaul community is an end user for at least one self-service function in the system. This investment in DePaul’s information infrastructure enables the university to carry out our core business functions more efficiently and provides a sustainable solution for our data into the future.​

Not to be confused with BlueSky Open Platform.
Bluesky is an initiative to develop a decentralized social network protocol. Organized by Twitter as a non-profit initiative, it was announced in 2019 and is in a research phase as of 2022. Bluesky is owned by the team itself, without any controlling stake held by Twitter.[1]

Description
Bluesky is an initiative to develop a decentralized social network protocol, such that multiple social networks, each with its own systems of curation and moderation, can interact with other social networks through an open standard. Each social network using the protocol is an "application".[2]

Twitter is funding a small independent team of up to five open source architects, engineers, and designers to develop an open and decentralized standard for social media. The goal is for Twitter to ultimately be a client of this standard. 🧵
Dec 11, 2019[3]
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey first announced the Bluesky initiative in 2019 on Twitter. The company's Chief Technology Officer Parag Agrawal invited initial working group members in early 2020. The group expanded with representatives from decentralized networks Mastodon and ActivityPub. The group coordinated through Element chat software. Twitter commissioned Jay Graber of the Happening decentralized social network to compose a technical review of the decentralized social network landscape.[2] She was hired as the Bluesky project lead in August 2021.[4]

Twitter commissioned Jay Graber of the Happening decentralized social network to compose a technical review of the decentralized social network landscape.[2] She was hired as the Bluesky project lead in August 2021.[4]
Twitter executives approved of the initiative's scope and goals, which include what the protocol itself should encompass and what should be left to applications (the social networks built atop the standard). Some of these goals include letting applications customize their system of moderation, making applications responsible for compliance and takedown requests, and preventing virality algorithms from reinforcing controversy and moral outrage. The working group did not have a common consensus towards these goals, so Twitter decided to field individual proposals, which ranged from reinforcing existing standards to endorsing standard interoperability, letting usage data decide where to invest. In early 2021, Bluesky was in a research phase, with 40–50 people from the decentralized technology community active in assessing options and assembling proposals for the protocol. The hired project manager will assemble the team of protocol developers.[2]
Twitter's blockchain division, newly announced in November 2021, will work with the Bluesky initiative.[5]
In March 2022, Bluesky announced three of their first employees. Aaron Goldman, who had previously worked for Google and Twitter, was hired as a security engineer. Paul Frazee and Daniel Holmgren were hired as protocol engineers.[6]
On April 15, 2022, Jack Dorsey acknowledged that the initial progress on the project from the first developers was off to a slow start.[7]
On April 26, 2022, Bluesky put out a statement saying that the project will remain unaffected by Elon Musk's proposed takeover of Twitter, stating that Bluesky has been independently operating as a public benefit limited liability company since February of that year. This gives Bluesky the freedom to put their resources toward their mission without an obligation to return money to shareholders.[8]
In May 2022, Bluesky released the code for an experimental personal data server and a command-line client alongside an high-level overview of the network architecture. They also revealed that they will begin to share the platform's development process, before the process is complete. [9]
