Kineo Open Source supports Moodle

Kineo Open Source<http://www.kineoopensource.com/> has donated $3000AUS to
Moodle<http://moodle.org/>, the open source learning management system. This will be put into the
development fund run by the Moodle Trust, which contracts programmers to work on Moodle, to help
fund the development of the Site-Wide Groups feature in Moodle 2.0 which is due at the end of
2009.
Kineo Open Source recognises that it is in the best interests of our business to contribute fully
to the Open Source community - whether as users, bug reporters, contributors or supporters - in
order that the products Kineo Open Source support continue to innovate and improve. But more than
that, we're not just contributing because it makes business sense or because we want to be
accepted, we're doing it because we want to.
Kineo Open Source aims to interact with open source projects and communities in a variety of ways
including:

 *   Contributing code to the project whether in the form of fixes, extensions or customisations
 *   Contributing documentation to the project whether amends and improvements to official project
documentation or their own tutorials
 *   Contributing financial donations to the project whether as discretionary payments or as part
of a formal partnership agreement
 *   Sharing knowledge, lessons learned and best practice information using project forums or
mailing lists
Mark Aberdour from Kineo Open Source says:
"Kineo Open Source is continually using Moodle and Open Source Software in new and innovative ways
to push the software and its abilities further. With this donation we are contributing to a new
feature in Moodle that is one of the most popular feature requests from our corporate customers. We
will continue to support and help with efforts to grow and evolve Moodle, which in the long-term
will enable greater choice, flexibility and innovation for all users of learning management
systems."
