Thank you and Of course, thank you for coming and being part and Joining with all your great questions and discussion and problems. Thank you. You could probably make your way down. I suppose Thanks everyone so This isn't the end of anything this is just a point of history where we've all traveled to the same place To have all this going on We continue we have a lot of togetherness to to to happen So the first thing is we would love your feedback on the conference I'm sure there were rough spots of sure there you have some good positive constructive feedback As well as just positive feedback that we'd love to share. We would love to hear from you There is this address at the top to go to the survey. It's also should be in your email and We'd love you to do that It's important metrics are important, right? We want to make the next mood even better There will be recordings on all the sessions Almost all the sessions, but I'm pretty much all every session. We could has been recorded We didn't stream it live because that's quite a technical challenge to get right and we just thought better to focus on the people here But make the recordings and they will be coming up online over the next months as they get processed They're going to be on Moodle Academy in only one place easy to find and they'll be on our YouTube channel as well youtube.com slash Moodle You can also keep in touch through matrix like I mentioned before that QR code on the side will take you to the matrix room the matrix chat and As I mentioned quickly at the end the keynote we are going to be building out the matrix chat rooms to To be a really comprehensive set of places to talk about Moodle and keep in touch and That will be integrated with Moodle org coming up in the future because we are one of our upcoming projects Happening next this from now into next year will be integrating messaging into the core of Moodle right Well, that's a worth some applause We're all We're all using Messaging all of the time our students are using messaging all of the time and we have a good plan which will be We'll be coming around for you all to give feedback on about really integrating messaging into the core of Moodle so you can engage with Moodle through messaging and Matrix being a really good open source solution will be our You know our recommended way of doing it, but there'll also be integrations with slack teams Whatever else you want to integrate WhatsApp if you want integrate with those as well I don't recommend those other ones, but Matrix has been is actually just getting to be a very nice usable product So yeah come in come and get ahead of the curve and start getting used to it and get yourself a matrix account And see you there and of course, you know you can hang out on our new Moodle org So that's going to be launching in the next week or two Here's a sneak peek of Some of that so it's going to have a whole new look I must say you know I'm when I look at moodle.org. It hasn't really changed in like years, right? It's a bit embarrassing We've just all had other things to do, you know, you know the old story that you know that The car mechanic never gets to fix his own car So it's a bit like that with moodle.org our own Moodle site has been You know sort of getting old and we've been getting time around it So we have been working on it and we have this new nice interface that we've been working out a Lot of the popular pages are quite changed and simplified You'll be able to keep up to date with current research projects to see what's Where we're really looking for input and we really need your help so you can see there on the example There's the new messaging platform for example redesigning the gradebook things like that And you can get involved. So there is a Moodle experience lab that our Experience folks running on a permanent basis and We'd love for you to help bring more people into that. We need as much feedback and experiments and research as we can get It says there and I hadn't heard this before that we can there's a $250 PayPal gift card you can when will that be drawn? Do we know? Oh in two weeks says Marie Okay, I'm sure it's the first of many But yeah sign up and you could win something as well, which is always nice, but I'm sure you'll do it anyway You'll also be able to see the roadmap more clearly And so part of what Marie has been doing is working on the visibility of that because we've traditionally not been so great at that Where part of Marie and Marie's appointment and and other people in the team is to make us a lot more a lot better At being visible and so you can engage with the core team So our roadmap will be there on an updated frequently. You'll also be able to see the big projects that are coming up and You know, are we doing them now? Are they next? Are they later? Or later still? So there's just a very quick way to see what's coming up in Moodle in a very shorthand way without going through the tracker And lots of docs and so on so that's the a key part of the the communication around the all the product roadmaps that we have and Of course, you can contribute to Moodle in all the usual ways with translations and Being involved on Moodle Academy creating Moodle net content and so on And of course if you're a coder remember we have a developer pathway so Rajneel who's in the the community team has been working on developer courses with together with other developers and that's something we really want to Double down on to help people go from being you know, perhaps they're already a programmer and they know PHP or Python or something how they become a Moodle Programmer and have those the knowledge and I guess most people would say that takes about six months so we've been building out a Whole developer course so that develop you can people can become Moodle developers and That that should help the whole community those courses are open. They're free um Little highlight what's coming up in Moodle LMS 4.1 From the Moodle H. Well, oh, this slide's changed from when I looked at it. So improved UX database activity gradebook some UX work there The Basically UX is our focus. We're trying to simplify the overall Look and feel and usability of Moodle without playing too much with the features at the moment We're focusing on making the existing features easy to use Some other headline features there'll be more reports We are reintroducing tiny MCE Those of you who've been around for a while may remember we had tiny MCE Oh, there's some happy claps over here mostly from our community team for some reason So we have Ato as our main editor and it's been in Moodle core for many years We we wrote that editor because we were trying to make an editor that was Fully featured worked with Moodle plug-ins was kind of doing things the Moodle way And we didn't think the maintenance would be so bad, but it is and so we finally Decided to Bring back tiny MCE so that we benefit from all the work happening in the tiny MCE Open source project because those guys just focus on editors So it's a very capable editor We don't have to worry about bug fixing and things in that it's just done and it will be reintroduced with tiny MCE 6 which is well advanced of the old tiny MCE and And Ato will be phased out in future releases Not having got a timetable exactly on that yet It's when it sort of feels natural But it will be supporting Ato for the time being and they'll both be there and you can choose which editor you want to use for any HTML that you're writing in Moodle Sharing to Moodle net Hopefully that gets in 4.1. We want to make it really easy to share Activities to Moodle net as well as getting things back from Moodle net Moodle net being a very core part of the overall Moodle platform in the future There's also work coming in 4.1 on the questions and question bank Lots of work there. I assume Tim Hunt is involved as well as other developers. I don't know too much about the details But oh Now all there's a talk you can catch up with on the recordings afterwards. Thanks Tim But some great work there big blue button also working on some much-needed things there being able to invite external Participants where necessary That's actually a use case that I often talk about as being a really important feature of Moodle and online learning is that you don't just have to think about Your classroom as a closed space that you must be enrolled to be in You Also think of it as a portal to the outside world. So imagine you're teaching an English literature class and You're studying poetry or something You can reach out to the poet and say hey, I'm teaching a course and I'm using your poetry Do you want to come and speak to my students and invite them in and you know You have the whole world Available to bring into your classrooms and I think you know feature like that's going to be super useful for that kind of use case and many many others of course and Looks like the language is going to be better tied in with Moodle And so on Next year The Moodle moot is going to be here in Barcelona again. That's a very good thing Barcelona is a very central location As we're running it we also have a big team here and we have a lot of great connections and Diego and Everyone here to make that a success. We can build on what we've done this year for next year and make it a even better moot here We Beyond that Let's be open. We can maybe you'll go to Morocco. You want to take it to Morocco Diego Something I don't know. Well, let's let's be creative, but I don't think my cruise ship idea is ever going to fly Too much risk in the minute They they tend to sink sometimes. So yeah, we'll think about but definitely next year here So start making some thoughts and plans and plan to be here. It's a beautiful city I hope some of you are not flying out immediately and you have a chance to explore the the city And everything that has to offer. It's a beautiful town one of my it's Let's say I'm not gonna lie. It's my favorite city in the world Barcelona And I've been to about 200 so quite a lot. I've been around That's it. It's happening. Thank you. This is the end of the moodle moot. We are at the end Thank you everybody have a safe journey home and we'll see you in the matrix and on the net. Ciao. Bye
