Project Suggestions for Moodle Hack/Doc Fest: Winter 2013

Moodle Hack/Doc Fest at Reed College is coming up soon (Jan 7-10, 2013) and we’re looking for suggestions for bug fixes, documentation and new features for Moodle that the community would like us to address. In order to streamline issue gathering, we’re using a Google Doc to accept and review submissions. These will then be imported into Redmine for tracking.

You can also add commments to this post, but please submit them using the form as well so we have a definitive place for tracking things.

Moodle Hack/Doc Fest, Winter 2013 at Reed College

Moodle Hack/Doc Fest for Winter 2013 will be held Tuesday, January 8, 2013 through Thursday, January 10, 2013 at Reed College in Portland, Oregon.

A pre-Hack/Doc documentation and coding sprint will be held Monday, January 7, 2013. This will be CLAMP’s 11th Moodle Hack/Doc Fest. Moodle Hack/Doc Fest is a free event. Attendees will need to pay for their own transportation, lodging, and dinner.

Ruby Workshop, Fall 2012

CLAMP is hosting a Ruby workshop at Lafayette College October 23 – 25, 2012. The goals of the workshop will be to introduce the Ruby language and ecosystem as a platform for both web and system utility development, and to work on one or two projects as a group. We’ll spend time discussing some of Ruby’s interesting properties and idioms and look at Rails and the practices and conventions that it promotes.
