    Programme

    We’re working on organizing some social events for the evenings of July 1 and 2 after the conference. More details, including registration information, will be shared as soon as possible!

    • DevCamp: Tue. 30th June & Wed. 1st July

      “It’s an intensive two-day hackathon which allows Moodle developers to work with like-minded people on hands-on projects while having the opportunity to exchange know-how, validate their ideas and create working code.”

      Moodle DevCamp is a free, two-day, open hackathon for all developers, UX experts, QA professionals, and anyone else interested in Moodle. The event is all about turning your own ideas into working code and presenting the results over the course of the two days.

      At the start of the event, participants will present their ideas. Afterward, everyone can work on the project that piqued their interest the most. Once like-minded individuals have teamed up, they will have the space and time to produce actual code.
