A Developer Meeting is an open forum for all people around the world who are interested in Moodle development.
We aim to hold a developer meeting every three months in line with the Moodle development cycle.
| January | Invited speaker |
| April | Pre-release meeting (May release) |
| July | Invited speaker |
| October | Pre-release meeting (November release) |
To accommodate as many people as possible, meetings start at 13:00 UTC (why?).
Forthcoming developer meetings
If you have something you'd like to talk about in a developer meeting, please contact Michael d.

Why are the meetings at 13:00 UTC?
Moodle never sleeps. There are developers working on Moodle around the clock. So when do you have a meeting to accommodate developers worldwide?
You might think this is a trivial question, but it has generated enough discussion and angst to deserve proper justification.
We have attempted, in the past, to run meetings in rotating time slots. While this seemed fair, it excluded large groups of developers (see the graphic to the right).
Meetings starting at 13:00 UTC seem to include the largest number of participants. This does unfortunately disadvantage people in the Eastern United States, in New Zealand and across the Pacific Ocean, however this constitutes a smaller proportion of potential attendees than other time slots. Apologies to those people wishing to attend for whom this time is not ideal.
