Brown Bag: Introduction to Redmine, 12/1/2010 at Noon
The Collaborative Liberal Arts Moodle Project uses the Redmine collaboration suite to coordinate projects, track bugs and features, and discuss upcoming projects.
On Wednesday, Dec. 1 at Noon EST, Caroline Moore of Smith College will be leading an “Introduction to Redmine” brown bag that provides an overview of its features and how we use it to support our efforts, both during the academic year and at Moodle Hack/Doc Fests.
This event will be conducted virtually in CLAMP’s Elluminate Room. The event is free, but registration is required so that we can send you the Elluminate room link.
Registration is live for Moodle Hack/Doc Fest: Winter 2011
Registration is now live for Moodle Hack/Doc Fest: Winter 2011, which will be held January 4-6, 2011 at Furman University in Greenville, SC.
As with prior events, Hack/Doc will feature programmers and instructional technologists coming together to improve Moodle. Our short-list of Moodle work includes:
- Evaluating what works — and doesn’t work — in Moodle 2.0, with a particular eye toward third party blocks, modules and themes as well as our own custom code.
- Identifying what new documentation is needed for Moodle 2.0.
- Fixing bugs in the Moodle Liberal Arts edition.
- Working on unit testing scripts to help automate testing new moodle releases.
Moodle Hack/Doc Fest is a free event. Attendees will need to pay for their own transportation, lodging, and dinner. In addition to the conventional Hack/Doc Fest, we’re planning on coordinating a virtual component to Hack/Doc Fest that will allow people to participate from their own campuses on a limited basis.
The registration deadline is December 15, 2010.
