 Hey, Paul Stacey here. I'm in Denver, Colorado at the Moodle Conference. Moodle is a very popular education technology learning management system. In fact, it's amazingly popular. I used to help organize and host the Moodle conferences in Canada many years ago. It's fun to reconnect with the community and see just how rapidly Moodle has grown to become easily the most adopted learning management system around the world. And it's interesting to reflect on how the open source nature of Moodle, because it's all open source, the code is completely open, anyone can see it and add to it and modify it, has enabled the adoption of Moodle and then enabled it to scale and to disseminate everywhere around the world. Also interestingly here at the event itself are many other vendors who have built additional product components on top of Moodle that extend its functionality or have built a set of services that allow for the integration of other technologies into Moodle and how when you create an open source software system it can serve as the basis for building a complete set of additional economic components that build the thriving industry around it. And my own talk was called Why Open Matters. I spoke about all the different forms that openness takes in education. Open educational resources, yes of course, but also open access, open data, open science, open glam, galleries, libraries, archives and museums, open policy even, open government. All of these things are taking place in education right now. They're all kind of separate and autonomous mostly, but I think it's fascinating to help people realize that they are taking place and what the synergistic potentials of combining them all in terms of enabling a larger impact. I also spoke about the sustainability of open which is something that a lot of people have been talking to me about how you can think about keeping your open education initiative going forward and what the revenue generation or funding possibilities are associated with open initiatives and for that I spoke a lot about the work that I did in writing Made with Creative Commons, a book that I wrote about open business models with Sarah Pearson when I was at Creative Commons and talked about how the model for doing that is different than the traditional market-based model and how it involves the social system and what that social system looks like and how it works. I think a lot of people liked it. I had a lot of positive comments and of course it's always a privilege to have the opportunity to come to an event like this and help others learn about openness. So that's it. Bye for now. I think that whole session was filmed so I expect it will be available online through the Moodle website at some point. I'll try to create a link for it here with this posting when it becomes available. Bye for now. See you from Denver.
