No, that statement from them is untrue.  We do not support it. And they haven't even got the name of the Moodle company right (it's Moodle Pty Ltd)

David Mudrak spelled it out here a month ago:  https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=315883

We're really glad if anyone want to help with reviews but we have existing guidelines and mechanisms for all this that should be used.

I need to respond to this kind of spin you're making here and elsewhere, Mike.  I'm truly surprised to see this stuff coming from you.


You've thrown away a cake and now you're trying to eat it.

The reasons behind Remote Learner not being a partner are not about the roadmap or any other such nonsense.   I can't publicly go into all the real reasons why RL left, but it's clear to anyone that by not being a partner Remote Learner is now contributing even less than it might have been before.

You are currently openly flouting Moodle's business model with clear trademark infringements all over the place, at the same time claiming contributions towards Moodle that are either completely false or way overblown.  The Moodle Association is not even launched yet, and yet you're already trumpeting your membership of it - ignoring the fact that even if RL did join then it can not contribute any more than an average University can.  This POET group (if it even really exists) is something that is not even required and is clearly an attempt to try and market yourself as some kind of official partner when you are not.

Our actual Moodle partners contribute a significant 10% of their income towards Moodle core maintenance and development.   Remote Learner has decided to pay zero.

If users really want to support core Moodle they should always use a Moodle Partner.  I do not recommend that users choose Remote Learner as a service provider.
