Hey all, I guess now is a good time to annouce that I'm delighted to be working with @mayel on the #MoodleNet project. He's joining Moodle on a six-month Technical Architect contract.

You may see some toots from us referencing a design sprint in London this week for the project. We're partnering with Outlandish, a worker-owed tech #coop, for that 👍

It's been about a week since I installed Blokada. The result? 6557 blocked requests for my data. #unfreakingbelievable

Only a couple of hours left to fill in the MoodleNet survey. If you're an educator (of any type) we want to hear from you!

@h Writer's block, in my experience, is about not having enough inputs. Read more!

Now *that* is a foosball table!

Do you meet the following criteria?

✔️ Educator
✔️ Can be in London, England on Thursday 24th May
✔️ Interested in testing out MoodleNet prototypes

If so, get in touch! (we'll compensate you for your time)

@ntnsndr Because, as Heraclitus reminded us quite a while back, the reason we can't step into the same river twice is partly that we ourselves have changed.

Hey everyone, Moodle is looking for a Technical Architect to assist me on the MoodleNet project I'm leading.

https://moodle.workable.com/jobs/711777

I'd like to encourage applications from far and wide, so please consider applying.

Note that need to be within five hours of UK time - or be willing to shift your hours to accommodate.

Please boost, so that awesome, suitably-qualified people on Mastodon and the wider Fediverse see this opportunity! https://social.coop/media/HKVLGA-LEL_w9FTKxCg

There's great work being done around the world, but so much of it is bankrolled by really problematic neoliberal enterprises as a marketing exercise.

The difficulty with that isn't that money is being funnelled into good causes, but that those good causes are beholden (even if subconsciously) to those neoliberal enterprises.

How about big companies pay their taxes and citizens decide where money is spent, instead of rich white guys and their marketing departments deciding?

OERu is now using Mastodon: https://course.oeru.org/support/studying-courses/oeru-social-network/

I'm leading a project for Moodle: https://moodle.com/moodlenet

We're looking at ActivityPub-based open source starting points such as Mastodon and Hubzilla.

Has anyone used the latter to do anything more than experiment? I'd appreciate your comments on good/bad/ugly! https://project.hubzilla.org/page/hubzilla/hubzilla-project
