Hi all,
A big thanks to those of you who already filled out the Doodle. Based
on those dates we decided to organize the code sprint on:
* Tuesday 22/03/2011
* Wednesday 23/03/2011
* Thursday 24/03/2011
So that's 3 days in total. If you hadn't registered yet, please feel
free to still do so for one of the aforementionned dates via the
Doodle mentionned below. There are still a few places available.
Have a nice weekend,

Hi all,
Just a small reminder for the next Chamilo 2 codesprint. Please fill
out the Doodle (link in the original message) as soon as possible.
Subscriptions (via the Doodle) need to be received by Friday March
11, 2011. The number of places is limited, so first come, first served.
Best regards,

Hi all,
Considering one should forge the iron while it's hot, there's no
better time to plan the next Chamilo 2 code sprint then right before
the one coming up tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
First and foremost I've set up a Doodle, so you can enter your
preferences date-wise. All options are located in the week of March
21, 2011. Please do keep in mind that Chamilo 2 code sprints
typically last 2 days (more if so requested), but do feel free to
check all dates at which you consider yourself available for this
event. It's always better to have you there one day then none at all.
The Doodle is located at:
http://www.doodle.com/hi2gqiwwk5mvgeea?newDesign=true
Also considering that the people at Hogeschool Gent were as kind as
to host the upcoming code sprint, this time Erasmus University
College Brussels will be your host once more.
Tentative planning / agenda:
* Unification of platform-wide AJAX calls
A basic manager is available to do AJAX calls in a uniform (OO)
way. This has been implemented in a few places, but far from
everywhere.
* Distributed architecture / configuration for our integrated
HTML editor
Different packages and contexts can have different requirements
as far as the available options in the HTML Editor are
concerned. Following our own architecture, the configuration of
said editor should be customizable per package as well.
* Static page content
One of the things keeping us from actually using Chamilo 2 for
regular websites is the lack of some kind of "static" page
application, based on objects but which is, for the end user,
not seen as an application. It should fully integrate into the
platform menu-structure. More details and discussion on the
code sprint.
* Metadata / context linker integration into the core
The people at VUB did a terrific job implementing a metadata /
context linking application for Chamilo 2. This opens up a
world of possibilities for content, users and groups. As a
final push forward this would have to be integrated into the
core. While not that hard in theory, doing it together during a
code sprint (perhaps combined with a little "education" on the
concept of the application and metadata itsel) would be
benificial to all.
* Handbook integration
Pretty much the same as the previous topic, but for the
handbook application developed by the VUB-team ...
* Package Manager
A package manager is being developed to easily distribute new
versions of packages. Progress report and brainstorm /
discussion on how far we want to or should go with this.
* Anonymous access to Chamilo 2
At this moment a user still HAS to be logged on to be able to
do anything. Different approaches exist to allow people access
in an anonymous way. We should try to figure out which approach
we want and how we can implement it as easily as possible.
* WebLCMS
Some structural issues remain, management of courses and the
courses themselves is somewhat intermixed and then there's also
the matter of the course types. We should discuss how we can
fix these issues once and for all and keep the WebLCMS from
becoming the ugly duckling of our family.
It goes without saying that any additional topics are always welcome.
If you have a project you want to present (to developers), this could
be the moment to do it. If you need technical feedback for a project
or just want to brainstorm about it ... you're always welcome. It
goes without saying there's also and always time to discuss recent
developments as well as new developments.
Depending on the outcome of the aforementioned Doodle, more details
will follow (as well as a more concrete planning and/or agenda)
Best regards and hope to see you then,
