GHOP/2007

A list of tasks completed in the Google Highly Open Participation Contest for Moodle in 2007/2008.

Thanks to Google for giving participants the opportunity to learn more about and contribute to many aspects of open source software development!

Grand prize winner

Congratulations to Pat B (aka Worrapat Boonyaritipong) for being Moodle's grand prize winner!

We chose Pat because of his outstanding work on some of our most challenging tasks - Selenium scripts, creating a developer guide for upgrading to XMLDB, and developing a patch to improve performance. Although it must have taken Pat a great deal of time to understand the complex code, he completed each task on time and to the highest standard. He also made a valuable contribution to the Thai Moodle community in improving the Thai language pack and by creating a Moodle presentation in Thai.
