Hi! I am happy and proud to announce that Moodle has been again selected as a Google Summer of Code 2019 mentor organisation. We have a few interesting project suggestions to work on, including projects from mobile app and machine learning development.

I am opening this discussion thread as a place for prospective students to raise questions regarding the application process. Reply to this post to raise a new question. Thanks.

Please get familiar with the following documentation pages before asking a question here, to make sure it has not been answered there:

Moodle has been known for having quite high standards and expectations on their GSOC students and the quality of applications. We appreciate hearing from students with serious interest. Thank you for understanding.

Hello I am trying to setup the moodle developer environment using docker Module installation looks right from Terminal

The installation looks successful but I don't see any additional code in the code base, I was expecting the docker installation to import code from the code base, also navigating to localhost:8000 returns this 

Navigating to browser


Any help, I am trying to get familiar with the code base using this tutorial

So I have been able to resolve this issue, the problem was I skipped having the Moodle code cloned locally before moving to the Docker set up. Cloning the Moodle repo and following the instructions here  was All I needed. In case anyone is having issues I hope this helpsLocal set up successful

Hello,

               I am Monil Bhavsar, pursuing Computer Engineering from L.D. College of Engineering, India. I have decent knowledge of Web Technologies like HTML,CSS,PHP, JavaScript, AJAX , MySQL, MongoDB and had worked on many projects .

I would like to work on the idea of adding QR CODE feature as  a part of GSOC 2019. The idea is to add a QR CODE which refreshes after certain time to avoid false attendance and cheating  by sharing of QR Code.


Thanks.
