| *[[Bugathon]] including an announcement of prize winners!
| |
| *[[How to write a good bug report]] The Tracker page on the docs.moodle.org has been updated (https://docs.moodle.org/en/Tracker), let's try to write good bug reports that would eventually save Martin (and other developers) a lot of time (to read and understand the bug reports...etc.)
| |
| * Introducing Contrib Coordinator
| |
| * Testing Moodle - do we need a more coordinated approach with people responsible for modules (see more comments on this page by Gary)
| |
| * Unmaintained modules - we could really use maintainers for them
| |
| * Other infrastructure, communication, and workflow related issues?
| |
| | |
| ===Google Highly Open Participation contest report (Helen)===
| |
| | |
| * GHOP contest was a great success!
| |
| * Contest gave students aged 13-18 the chance to learn more about and contribute to many aspects of open source software development
| |
| * Quote from a contest participant: "I always thought you had to know PHP to be able to contribute to Moodle development. Now I know that it's not true - there are many other ways of contributing."
| |
| * Around 100 tasks were completed by 50 students
| |
| * Wide variety of tasks including lots of video tutorials explaining 1.9 features, a new language pack (Latin), selenium scripts, [[Development:Using XMLDB|XMLDB developer documentation]] and database presets - see [[GHOP/2008]] for the full list
| |
| * A big THANK YOU to everyone who helped reviewing tasks and suggesting new ones
| |
| * Hopefully Moodle will be involved in the GHOP contest next year, assuming Google decide to run it again
| |
| | |
| ===Google Summer of Code (Helen)===
| |
| | |
| * Moodle involved in GSOC for 2 years now, since 2006
| |
| * The GSOC program pays university students to work on open source software products for about three months (over the northern hemisphere summer), mentored by existing developers
| |
| * Previous projects include [[Student projects/Social Networking features|social networking features]] (resulting in [[Tags|tags]] in 1.9) and [[Student projects/User Management Improvements|user management improvements]] (resulting in [[Bulk user actions|bulk user actions]] in 1.9) - see [[GSOC]] for the full list
| |
| * We're going to apply to be included in GSOC 2008 next week. Assuming we're accepted, we need to come up with a list of [[Student projects|suggested student projects]] ASAP, together with developers willing mentor them. Students will then browse the list of projects, discuss them in the student projects forum and apply by 31st March 2008/
| |
| * Anyone willing to mentor a project, please let me know. Mentor commitment: up to 5 hours per student per week.
| |
| * Even if you’re not able to mentor a project, you can still help and support GSOC students by answering their questions in the forums, giving feedback etc.
