Weeknote 45/2018

This week I’ve been:

• Sending out Issue #323 of my Thought Shrapnel newsletter. It was entitled ‘46 hours in transit’ and was, as ever, made possible via those who support me on Patreon.
• Working on the MoodleNet project (Mon-Thurs)
  • Documenting the sessions we ran at MozFest & MoodleMoot on the wiki, and then writing a blog post summary.
  • Creating an overview document of how the ’emoji ID’ functionality in MoodleNet might work
  • Figuring out the workflow for next week’s MoodleNet sign-up testing (being run by Outlandish)
  • Meeting with Gry Stene, Moodle’s new Chief Product Officer.
  • Starting planning ‘job landscapes’ for potential contractors around UX / front end development, and community strategy.
  • Starting a conversation with team leads about MoodleNet functionality in Moodle Core 3.7 (coming May 2019)
  • Welcoming an influx of new people introducing themselves in the MoodleNet forum.
  • Agreeing a new meeting structure for our team, which now includes ‘MoodleNet beers’ on a Thursday afternoon! (I work four days per week for Moodle)
  • Updating my Moodle HQ and moodle.org profiles (which we should all do, apparently):
• Rewriting one of the seven draft Digital Literacy MOOC scripts for CET Israel. I also created a draft video.
• Booking, and then cancelling our planned We Are Open co-op meetup in December due to availability. We’re all busy people!
• Recording one microcast, which is available only to Patreon supporters:
  • Microcast #047 – Working with clients
