Revision as of 11:48, 12 October 2007
The main part of the 2007 UK Moodle Moot is on Wednesday and Thursday 24th and 25th October. The day before, on the Tuesday, there will be a HackFest for developers to meet, talk and write code.
Practical arrangement
You need to get right here. This is the centre of the Open University's Campus:
The Open University
Walton Hall
Milton Keynes
MK7 6AA
The area we are meeting in is called the Christodoulou Meeting Rooms. The entry is under an archway, and if you go in and up the stairs you should find us in Meeting Room 15, or the open foyer area just outside it. We will be there from about 10:00am to about 5:30pm, and lunch will be provided.
If you are registered for the MoodleMoot, wireless network sign-in information should be available on arrival.
Programme for the day
In keeping with Moodle's open source philosophy, the day will be self-organising. You can turn up and talk to other developers about anything you like. However, within that general free-for-all, we will have a number of pre-announced discussions on particular topics at particular times. We have a number of other rooms available for these break-out sessions, but I don't know the numbers right now.
Please feel free to add your own suggestions below.
Naturally, not all developers will be able to come, so it might be a good idea to start discussing some of these topics in the General Developer Forum now. And if anything significant comes out of the discussions, we should try to record it on the wiki.
Quiz developments
| Time: | 2:00 to 3:00 |
| Room: | ?? |
| Suggested by: | Tim Hunt |
We can discuss some things that have happened recently:
- The implication of Jamie's recent changes to the question bank,
- Improvements to the question type API, especially Howard's recent changes,
some things that will probably happen soon:
- The OU's quiz navigation changes, that we hope to put into Moodle 2.0,
- The OU's changes to adaptive mode that we hope to put into Moodle 2.0,
- Tony Gardner-Medwin's plans to introduce certainty-based marking,
known problems with the quiz architecture that no-one is working on right now:
- ... suggestions welcome ...
and anything else you want to raise.
Of course, you can talk to me about the quiz at any time time during the day too, if you have a more specific issue.

Enrolment 'Groups'
An overview of 'the problem' how we've solved it in the short term and discussion of hot it can be solved in core.
| Time: | ?? |
| Room: | ?? |
| Suggested by: | Dan Poltawski |
Accessibility demonstration
My colleague Chetz Colwell and I would like to give a brief demonstration of assistive technologies to developers, particularly core developers, and discuss future accessibility work on Moodle. We'll hopefully have a screen reader JAWS (Thunder?), screen magnifier, do a keyboard-only demo, and possibly speech recognition.
| Time: | 10:00 to 11:00 (or 15:00 to 16:00) |
| Room: | ?? |

PGP Keysiging
If any developers would like to exchange PGP Keys and expand their web of trust then this could be done during the Developer day.
I think it would be good to follow the Debian guidlines for this.--Dan Poltawski 18:03, 10 October 2007 (CDT)
