 Good morning! It's really very nice to be back in Germany. A lot of you know my mother is German so I have a special connection with here. My father is Greek so basically European. But I do live in Australia and it was 27 hours to get here and as you'll see this is relevant because I want to talk about this problem. But today I have, I know there was a lot of thank you's already but I also just want to reiterate thank you's to the University for hosting. Very much appreciate it. And the organisers who made things happen in particular or really a friend of mine who I know works a lot behind the scenes getting little things done as do other people. But thank you. So I think I have 85 slides for 60 minutes. So I'm going to be going a little fast. There's not a lot of slides that are humorous. This is serious business. And I'm very sorry that my mother never taught me German. I'm going to have to do this in English so I apologise. But let me tell you about a few things. So where I grew up in Australia looked like this. And we used to like making fires. And I thought Germany probably like to hear about fires. Nice and warm. So when you make a fire you start with something small. And remember the animation that was on before? It kind of looked like a fire. That was the development of Moodle. You start with something small. You put small sticks. You grow it. You put bigger sticks. You put bigger things. You get bare grills to come in and blow on it. And eventually you can make a very very big fire and a lot of people can get warm around that fire. So Moodle is a bit like a fire. We have this open source project. It's very dynamic. There's a lot of people taking it and changing it and doing things with it. And it has a life of its own. And I enjoy coming to these conferences especially because I get to learn what's happening in Moodle as much as tell people what's happening in Moodle. Germany is sitting there on the list. It's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Most number of Moodle sites. And that's pretty good work. It's very interesting seeing how many of those top ten don't speak English too. It's a very international project. This was from last year. This is higher education in Europe. So about two thirds of higher education in Europe is using Moodle. And so Moodle is obviously very important to the infrastructure of education here in Europe but also in other parts of the world. If I go to South America, I went to Brazil. I was speaking to a conference. I had 2,000 people and I said, everybody stand up. And I said, okay, everyone put your hand on the shoulder of the person next to you. I said, we are all connected. I said, everybody who doesn't use Moodle sit down. It's like 10% sat down. I said, sorry, you're disconnected. But it's like 90% in some places. So what's new in the world? Well, we have big problems in the world. Big, serious problems. Massive increasing inequality. The rich are getting richer. The poor are getting poorer. In my country, which is supposedly a rich western country, a single person with a job cannot afford a house to live in. Bizarre, right? Food, water security. These are the big problems if you go and look at the UN website. The UN uses Moodle too, by the way, for a lot of things. Simple things like food and water security is a problem. We have a refugee crisis. Germany is doing very well in that, I have to say. A lot of countries are not. 65 million people on the move. Climate change, data privacy and ownership. Very big wars being fought over data. Who owns our data? Who controls our interactions? Automation and jobs. What does it mean when we automate our jobs? Healthcare quality and education quality. As things get massified, technified, what happens to the quality? These are very big problems. We are all living in this world and most of us have children. What's going to happen with our children's children? This is why I'm in this business. Because education is actually connected to all of this. A very interesting statistic is that someone told me yesterday, that now 5 people, 5 single people have more money than 50% of the world's population. That's just insane. And private wealth is growing faster than the economy right now. So people who have a lot of money, their personal money is becoming a larger and larger percentage of the total economy of the world. I had the USA on this. Someone said, don't blame the USA. I like to blame the USA. The Silicon Valley model, this idea of capitalism where you have an idea and you pump venture capital into it and you pump it up to this and you look for an exponential curve and ultimate growth. Back from Milton Friedman, mostly people claim, the economist in the 70s, that profit is everything. Profit is the goal. Profit is the game. I was at a conference in Silicon Valley with a lot of people running companies. It was 10,000 CEOs of software companies. I kept asking them, why are you doing this business? They often didn't have an answer because the only answer was money. Just as an example, the US, which is 5% of the world's population, has 25% of the money in the world and uses 30% of the world's resources. So the model of business and profit cannot work for the rest of the world. It's simply not possible. There's not enough resources for it to work. That's what's caused a lot of the problems that we're seeing today. When you hear the language of profit-driven companies, they're usually talking about disruption. We're going to disrupt, we're going to replace, we're going to compete, and we're going to break things and then our thing will win and make profit. Now, for me, that's not a good way of thinking about things. This is how I prefer to think about things. Taking what we have, supporting, nurturing, improving, fixing, because a lot of the institutions and the methods and the things that we have, such as the education system, the public education system, they work really well. They work fine. And they shouldn't be attacked by companies saying, oh, teachers can't do the job anymore. We now have this solution. We need to fix whatever is going wrong and make it better. That's my opinion. How many people agree with me? Okay. There is a whole movement of people who work and think about these things, a whole open movement. So Moodle is open source, but there are many other open movements and we're part of that. We have open government, open standards, open education resources, open education, all these things. So I like these guys and I think that although we have always been part of that, Moodle has not worked very closely with these in the past, but it's time for that to change. We need to be much more integrated with these projects, working together to improve and nurture and fix the things that we have. So for me it's about empowering educators and I have this shirt here. There are still some left in the registration room, first come, first served. This is our new, the Moodle mission. So if you treat education as a basic human right and you have the idea that the best school is the one close to you always and people often point to Finland. Finland, I was with the Minister of Education of Finland in Russia at a conference and I had dinner with her and I was like, so how did you make this change? Everyone talks about Finland, how did this happen? She said it took 40 years of effort a whole, almost two generations to change the culture so that teachers became respected. Teachers were like lawyers, like doctors, like scientists. They get paid very well, they stay in the profession, they have a lot of experience and they're very, very good at what they do and they have the resources that they need and I think that's really just makes so much sense, right? This is what we all have to do but it's a very, very big change in most countries. That's a couple of generations work and no government is going to sit down and do that because governments get re-elected every few years. So it's kind of up to us, the educators to make that change. The last bit there, I think it's very crucial that if we're going to tackle the big problems that we need to be looking at more cross-cultural collaboration. It's a lot of us are comfortable in our own world. A lot of the problems seem far away but if you're actually talking with those people and being with those people, it's a lot closer and it's a lot easier to work on problems together. So I wanted to, all of this leads to the mission of Moodle. So the mission, why we exist is empowering educators to improve our world. That's why we exist. That's why I started Moodle. At the beginning, I didn't quite have the words for it. We had another mission that said the same thing with many, many words but now it's down to like six words in English. The vision is that we want to give the world the most effective platform for learning. The word open in there is not in there because it's beyond that actually. It just simply must be the best. You pick Moodle because there's nothing better than that. Our values and have never changed. So there are education. Everything is about education really at every level. Openness Our values are open. Open in how we do our project. We'd be open with our community internally, externally and open to all types of users. So that means accessibility. It means cross-cultural. As open as we can be. It ties in with respect to be respectful of different cultures to be respectful of everybody's contributions, large and small. Integrity. We try and do things in the right way. We try and find the right way through consensus. And innovation. We try and promote the idea that you can make experiments. You can do crazy things sometimes because that's where the interesting stuff happens. When people take a little risk and go beyond what's established. So what are we doing from my perspective at Moodle HQ? Here are some big things that we're doing. The first one is we're moving to Europe. And I said I was European and I have come here, I travel a lot. This is actually where Moodle it's kind of like Moodle's home, if you like. Spiritually. I find there's a much better cultural fit with openness in Europe than anywhere else. And so we're slowly moving things to Europe away from the end of the world in Australia. We'll still have the office there for a long time, I'm sure. But we're having a new subsidiary in the EU. It's probably going to be in Barcelona because the weather is nice and they have mojitos. But being in Europe to you, Europe feels very big. To me, Europe feels very small. Traveling is so easy here. So it's really very cool. The second part is we're launching a non-profit Moodle foundation that will be independent and be based probably in Brussels because this is where all the politicians are. And in education, most of them are in Luxembourg so it's kind of close. So this will be an organisation that's getting involved with the EU grant funding, horizon 2020, this sort of stuff. And this is for us to get much more involved with things here. And that's really our goal is we want to get a lot more connected with what's going on here the community in Europe and elsewhere, the funding opportunities. Now I heard that the Horizon 2020 put out like 80 billion euros last year something like that, you're nodding. That's a lot of money. And when I was talking to people about the education projects that this money goes into, it seemed like half of them used Moodle in some way. Guess how many calls I got from people saying, hey Moodle why don't you come in and work on this too? Zero. None none. Not a single euro came towards us towards the Moodle project from this. Now what I am told is that a lot of these projects people collect millions of euros they build some software it's finished and then they go on to the next project and this thing never gets used it never lives, it dies. What a waste of public money. If we can get those sorts of projects into core Moodle the whole world benefits. Right, so this is a big focus for me. How do we now get those two things connected better? So there's that and also research work. I went to an IEEE engineering education conference in Athens a couple of months ago. Literally 70% of all the presentations were done in Moodle. They're like, hey we did this new approach, we tried this new approach we used Moodle, we implemented it we studied it, we got some great results we wrote our paper and finished. Never seen again, it's a paper in a journal done. And it's like that should be contributing to software that is in the community that we all use. So we want to get a lot more involved with research. And lastly we're building new products and new platforms to help the community and I want to go through some of that now. So there are the seven main projects that we work on. Moodle Core obviously, that's the main Moodle. And Moodle Mobile, the Moodle Partner Services Moodle Cloud Moodle Training Moodle Academy and the Moodle Community and I'm going to go through these now. So what's new in Moodle? Well how many people here are not very familiar with Moodle? Actually a few. Put your hand up it's a bit new, cool. So this was for you just to explain what Moodle is. So Moodle is a platform that is the intersection of all of these other things. Users, courses competencies, administration it's the bit in the middle that joins those together. And it connects with plugins to things that are outside other systems. So you can have integrations or custom plugins there are many that people have added. And then you access that through devices so it could be a laptop, it could be a mobile device. We're looking at virtual reality stuff. We actually have a virtual reality room in the Moodle office and that's a very interesting point. More augmented reality is where it's going to be and voice interfaces. And particular courses are made up of these activities resources which are the plugins basically. And that's how you make up courses. So this basic structure of Moodle will never be obsolete. Like the idea that an education experience is a sequence of activities it doesn't matter if we all become half androids in 100 years we will probably still be learning things in roughly the same way. The basics of this don't change. It's more the technologies and the methods in things change. So back down to reality and the very pragmatic presence. So we just released Moodle 3.3. The big features in there were the office integrations, the new dashboard and a bunch of other things here. Analytics so not everybody wants to login to their site using Google or Microsoft Logins but many people do. So we now have a new OAuth framework and you can very easily set up Moodle to authenticate from other systems. It doesn't just have to be Google or Microsoft it can be anything that offers authentication sources. The office integrations now extend right down into the documents. So Moodle now controls a whole all of the fires into the system on Google Drive or Office 365. What that means is if you're a student and you have a document on an office system that you submit to an assignment as a submission your editing rights, Moodle will take them away and give the teacher editing rights. The file stays on Office Drive. It's not in Moodle it's actually out on Office Drive. So Moodle can control the permissions as it needs to manage the way files are handled. So that's quite useful to use the office system as a repository for documents. Now I don't like the fact that the only ones we have implemented are Google and Microsoft so the very next one is going to be NextCloud and there's a guy called Jan here who's going to be demonstrating tomorrow or this afternoon today an own cloud integration that might not be quite the same as this but it's in the right direction so Moodle will have support for that too I'm sure. We did work on the dashboard. Now that's the first page you see when you come in that gives you an overview of your courses for a student. Now what I'm actually showing here is not a screenshot this is one of our UX prototypes and it's the first time in the Moodle project in core anyway that we developed software the proper way which is you have prototypes and you have UX researchers and you do user testing on the prototypes again and again and again until you have very high quality prototypes and then you give that to developers to say make that and that is how we're doing everything now inside Moodle so that means we should have higher quality coming out the other end. We're still making mistakes and there were some things we already had to fix in 3.3 but it's a better process it's much more mature so this is another view of how the courses look on that page where you can see your courses listed now that was a project that came from the Moodle users association and that they specified and paid for another thing in 3.3 is it's actually a separate plugin but it's designed for 3.3 is the very first step on our new analytics platform now I say platform because there are many ways to think about analytics analytics means studying the data inside the system and pulling out of that useful insights useful ideas so ideally in the end you want to get a little notification on your phone as a teacher to say oh this student is in trouble you should give them a call right as one example but there are many many other notifications that you can imagine you might want to get Moodle to tell you proactively so the model that we have here sorry I apologize for the graphics it was done by a computer programmer there are many steps of models many plugins, many levels of plugins that can process the data and you can have different models a lot of research can happen on this platform and a lot of extension and development can happen on this platform so we tried to make it generic but the last of it is a machine learning neural net a small brain and the brain is taking these inputs and producing outputs and if you know anything about machine learning the way these work is quite it seems almost magic but it's because it works like human brains do where neurons are being strengthened so it's very exciting stuff we have a very first version what we're doing right now is training that brain so that Moodle when it comes when you get the fresh copy of Moodle it already has some understanding of how education works and to do that we need to train the brain on a lot of data and we need real data messy data like whole university Moodle sites and if you want to be involved go to that link Moodle.org or go to research.moodle.net or just call me because we already have I think we've got five universities have already given us their entire Moodle sites anonymized so there's no names in there everything's anonymized you can't even tell what university it is and we're processing that we're losing that to train the system so that's going to improve over time Moodle 3.4 is the one we're working on now and I I decided to say no new features just stop with the new features everybody just fix things we have usability so it's really about usability there are significant visual changes but there's no new features so one of them is the calendar the calendar will work much more like your other calendars where you drag and drop things around and it makes a lot of sense straight away the participants page and the enrollments page which are awful user experience be combined into one so you just have these are the users in my course and I'm going to get some from here and you can do your enrollments and everything and connect to systems all on one page there is a bunch of other smaller projects an internal document showing the development over the next few months that we're doing in the core so there are some things like fixing forum emails so that they have attachments forum emails never had attachments on them simple little things like that so yeah longer term we're going to keep focusing on usability in fact I'm even thinking maybe 3.5 we'll do the same thing no new features just usability but we also need to get more standard support we need to get better integrations happening on the side with different other open tools otherwise there's some cleaning up of legacy code that needs to be done there's a lot of what we call technical debt in the system where things are changed but they're never fully completed a Moodle site copy so you have a Moodle over here and you have a Moodle over here and you just want to copy the whole site this would be very useful to move Moodle sites around the internet sector specific improvements there are some things that K-12 schools need there are some things that universities need such as archiving and rollover at the end of the year there are some things that workplaces need and that's more to do with courses that repeat things like that the analytics I already talked about and lastly VR AR support and how many people here have tried virtual reality like a how many people have tried virtual reality where your hands were in there like your hands are literally in the space okay I'm about 10 or 12 people so I really encourage you to find an HTC Vive or something like that where you have controllers in your hand and you're in the space and you can walk around the space and you can pick up things and find arrows and you can do stuff in virtual reality and once you feel that then when you think about AR where it gets down to the size of glasses plus a phone and this is coming in a couple of years where over the real world you have the digital world on top the scope for simulations for educational applications is huge now Moodle doesn't need to be in there where Moodle is interesting is imagine you're doing as a teacher you said to all the students here go into the simulation and I don't know fix a nuclear power plant or something right very dangerous so they go through the simulation in the virtual space if the application did any assessment where does that go it needs to go back to Moodle and if you're a teacher now looking at the results of all the how did your students do in this activity the second thing that would be nice is you could click and then in your glasses you see a replay and you can see the student doing the activity so you can jump in and see a recording of what they did so these kinds of things where Moodle fits in is very much focused on doing what it does well we're not looking at turning all courses into boxes and stuff like that doesn't make sense all right Moodle mobile so if you haven't looked at the Moodle mobile app lately it's looking pretty good how many people here use the Moodle mobile app got some? about half of you it's come a long way since the last time I was in Germany in Lubeck two years ago this shows the development of the core features over time through the versions and the versions of the app now are the same as the Moodle version so we're up to 3.3 of the mobile app as well and you can see now they're almost all green so almost every little piece of functionality of Moodle is now available in the app the two major features left are the database module what's that in German? Datum Bank so that's coming in 3.31 they're just finishing that now and the workshop module which I know has a different name what is it? Gin's IT for the workshop course so I'm not even going to try it that's coming in 3.4 that's the last of the big functionality probably a lot of you aren't even using the workshop module so your students already have 100% functionality now the Moodle mobile app can be skimmed it can be themed and there are two ways to do that the first way is you can actually make a CSS file and put it into your Moodle site and when the standard app connects it takes the CSS itself and it can match your main Moodle site but there is another way where we do it all for you and we make a branded app so Moodle HQ now does this as a service we actually make an app with your name in the app stores with your university or school with your own logo and your own colours and you own that app and you always have the latest features on it and that's about 3,000 euros a year and we already have a whole lot of universities already doing this and it's going very well so we're getting good at it and I would really encourage you if you haven't thought about it that it's a good experience for your students to go to University of Mannheim in the app store download logos on their phone click, opens in the URL they just put a username and password or use their Google login or whatever it all works and then they have your app we also have coming soon Moodle desktop which is a version of the app for desktop and I can show you very quickly here it is so this will be out probably in a couple of weeks for Windows and then the other platforms but I'm running on a Mac as you can see so everything works so it's pretty cool and this can be branded as well so that's coming out very soon too very useful for those Windows devices Windows 10 that sort of thing, it works good on those and I think every platform Mac and Linux so the third thing we do is Moodle partner services and we currently have 88 Moodle partners I'm sorry Ralph is sick I hope he's okay he's not here but we have two partners in Germany Aladija and Moodle rooms we are doing a lot of work with the Moodle partners to improve that whole partnership program to you're here, hello we're doing a lot of work to give them more materials so we want to improve the quality of the whole network of partners so that they're very up to date they have the latest in training and they do a lot of certifications and things like that another thing we're actually doing is we're planning to start being more involved Moodle being involved in some very large projects and by large I mean Saudi Arabia rolling out Moodle to their entire school system and so we're now working with various partners to make things like that happen as Moodle as a sort of number four, Moodle cloud so this launch since last I was here, we now have 21,000 active Moodle sites on Moodle cloud most of them are running the free version of course but it's very very active and it's going really really well this is an example of one of them, this is one of my test Moodle cloud sites as you can see it's got ninth grade beer curling very useful course there is a number of very cheap packages a thousand dollars Australian is like 600 euros a year for the largest one that's there so we intend to have more packages here so we're going to work on a better interface for getting in and out for nicer emails to make it very easy to get these simple Moodle sites improve the education as you come in so that people who don't know Moodle can learn Moodle right there more integrations with other SaaS systems so you can add for example Wirrus very soon I hope click, you can add a big blue button, you can add a lot of other things that are coming new packages so for various types of uses there will be new packages for particular types of users and remember I talked about the site copy you'll be able to copy a Moodle site into the cloud and this is useful for some smaller schools where maybe a student set up their Moodle site and then left okay who's looking after our Moodle site now they don't know so if we can make it so there's a button where they can migrate to a subscription service based in Europe if you're a European then you're just paying a couple of hundred euros a year or something and then you still have the service sitting there and you don't ever have to worry about upgrades or anything again and likewise say you start on Moodle cloud and you reach the limits since it's getting very popular and very big and you want to migrate to out of it where you can click a button and migrate the whole site somewhere else to a Moodle partner or to your own hosted site and then you can grow from there so this idea of copying will get very interesting Moodle training so we run a MOOC twice a year called Learn Moodle and we have ever taken this MOOC anyone? about ten of you it is mostly in English although we do allow people to use any languages in the forums it's a four week MOOC it's a beginning course for showing you how Moodle works what's very interesting about it is every time it runs the usage is like this and normally when you see MOOC's usage they try the beginning and then they go down really low but these have very good usage right through the four weeks which is very cool so this actually the latest one started three days ago if you're interested or you know someone who might want to do this go to learn.moodle.net it's free you can go in and get involved in the MOOC this is just the beginning because we have a plan to make I have a team of five people working on this right now to build a full curriculum so from beginning and it's not really just about Moodle it's about how to be a good online teacher using Moodle because it's the best open source solution around the course but it's a curriculum from the very beginning you know nothing I know I'm now a super Uber administrator at the top and the curriculum will be like a series of modules imagine an arts degree so you have core modules things you have to do and then there's a lot of options so maybe you don't care about competencies that could be an optional module or rubrics and there might be a simple grade book and then advanced grade book all of those modules are going to be defined they're going to have content materials for them they'll be available online but also at MOOCs so when there's a workshop day like yesterday you can imagine some of these modules running people giving those modules at a conference and not only Moodle MOOCs but also other education conferences so there are some very big education conferences for teachers I want to see Moodle workshops happening there Moodle partners I hope will take up the same structure so the courses and training they give can use the same structure so we all together collaborate on how do we learn this stuff how do we learn how to teach online what is the best way to do that worldwide all those modules, they have points and so once someone has said yes this person has passed this module you get registered in a system you accumulate points and when you have a certain number of points you get a certification so this replaces the MCCC that we have now which I don't like but this will be a new certification system and that can be something for your portfolio I am a level one Moodle teacher a level two Moodle teacher a Moodle administrator so the first version of that should be available later this year five people working hard on it right now if you are already working on something similar please talk to us because I think we need to collaborate on this we have a lot of people who can help on that now I am going very slow this is Moodle Academy this again is about MOOCs and we have made a prototype system which is a customized version of Moodle for running MOOCs only so it is useful for like say the University of Manmar and I actually don't know the situation here but say you wanted to run some MOOCs for the public you may not want 100,000 people coming into your IT systems you maybe want to run this externally because it is more of a marketing thing for the University here is an example of our courses if you like it maybe you want to enroll in a full course or something so we are building this as a platform for most of the University to offer their MOOCs on a wider scale but using Moodle not using edX or anything else because if your courses inside the University are Moodle the MOOCs should also be Moodle otherwise it is not really very realistic and the way the courses are structured they are vastly simplified versions of Moodle so they look more like traditional MOOCs where you have a lot of videos and a lot less complication they are more simple for very large numbers of people so we already have one University and another type site still some time until we open this up wider because there is a lot more work to do but that is coming so the Moodle community and the marketplace we already have Moodle.org which has been a Moodle site for 15 years 14-15 years and it has always been running on Moodle which was good it is a good demonstration of Moodle but it is not ideal the interactions that happen here are not that good to be honest in this day and age another aspect of the community is the Moodle users association they have their own Moodle site how many people here are members of the Moodle users association actually good so this is the association the funds of the membership goes into a pot they decide what to spend it on and they pay us to develop new features Moodle.net was something that I created so many years ago and we never really gave it a good life but the idea is for sharing courses you can upload a course into Moodle.net create a commons and other people can download it but it was never implemented very well and we have Moodle plugins which is a very successful database on Moodle.org and the main guy behind that is sitting right over here David Mudrak so I think these stats are slightly out of date but there is over 1300 plugins in there 742 developers and how many people here have a plugin in the plugins database whoa okay that's awesome, like 20 or 30 people so that's been improving over the years to make it easier to find plugins and extend Moodle's functionality so what we want to do is build a new system from scratch that kind of combines all that functionality of those other things and it's more like a professional development space so imagine it would look like this you come into a blank course you're a teacher, you come to Moodle you've got a course, you've got nothing in it and on the side of the screen is the community it's right there so a couple of clicks you can find people who are teaching the same subject as you in the same language at the same level very easily and you can talk with them you can ask them for help you can download a template of the course so maybe you're teaching French or something so you download a French course and everything has rankings and ratings everybody has reputation so if somebody's very helpful they have a very good reputation in the network and further than that if you're a helpful person you might want to start making a living here maybe you offer your help for 20 euros for an hour to help somebody with Moodle or help them with teaching French in Moodle so there's a space where people can share things freely but also make a living I mean people should be paid for their time software should be free but people should never be free as I usually say so to build this foundation for an economy where we can work together and help each other and learn together and do all those things that I talked about at the beginning so in that space we are integrating all the open resources so rather than you having to go and look at six or seven open repositories of content it's all connected here already and you can drag and drop stuff into your course create a common stuff all this sort of stuff in there we can have crowdfunding so if you want to have a plug-in and you want to as a developer you want to work on that plug-in but nobody's paying you to do it you can crowdfund you could give the developer two dollars or two euros or something a month or you could sponsor them you could subscribe to them we haven't worked out all the details but do you see the kind of thing I'm going for here it's like a Moodle community environment that has economy built into it has opened this built into it where we can all support each other so this hasn't started yet it's a project that should happen and will happen soon but I want to have a lot of people involved and get involved with it so if you like the idea come talk to me so here we come what you can do to help get a branded Moodle mobile app you can do it today just like go to Moodle.com and fill out the form and start talking to us you could join the Moodle users association that can be very cheap I think the lowest membership is 60 euros a year something and it goes up to 6000 euros a year if you want to be a gold member use Moodle for research so it's open software is the best for research because you can replicate results you can share your results you can write plugins that collect data from other people's sites right you can do big scale research or join in with the analytics tools if you need a Moodle site very fast come to Moodle cloud if you need consulting, hosting or any other services please go to a Moodle partner because 10% of what Moodle partners earn comes back to the project if you think you've got good ideas that you've talked about then just get in touch I'm here we're all here it's a small planet really it's not hard to find us if you're involved in grant funding for a Moodle related project please let us know try and involve us somehow there's so many ways that we can be involved including doing development but mostly if we develop these grant projects with a view to being in core or being a plugin then it really helps everybody are you and all your friends very wealthy and you want to feel less guilty by investing your money in something that really helps the world call me now, there's my phone number you'll get through on this phone I was going to have flashing lights and maybe some sexy pictures but I didn't get there I think some of these very wealthy people should put their money into some social causes so to finish up we have a fire we have a fire called Moodle I know all of you have your own fires your own institutions your own businesses your own situations where Moodle is involved and you're growing your own fire but we're all part of the same fire and if we can combine our energies more efficiently I think we can do really good things for the world so I'll finish there thank you very much please get in touch
