Last week, MartinL tested the timeline course format and he found a couple of bugs. I got those bugs fixed, and submitted a task to the moodle tracker to get the test site updated. As soon as the test site is updated, I will make a call for new testers. Earlier in the week, I added my course format to the list of moodle plugins. I have also been working on the porting my latest changes to the moodle2.0 version of the course format. The core of moodle 2.0 is actively being worked on, and these causes me to run into bugs or deprecated calls in the core code of moodle. That is problematic when I am working on my course format. I spend time looking at bugs and they end up being from core. Every time I do a git pull to get new changes, some deprecated calls or bugs are fixed, but I run into new ones.
In this blog post, I wanted to reflect on this summer of code. I had a blast not just writing code, but interacting with the moodle community. I learned a lot from my mentor Martin L. Helen the community manager of Moodle was always there providing support to gsoc students and checking on us. Anthony Borrow, Jordan and Nicolas provided lots of help during my coding process. I wouldn’t have been able to find as many bugs to squash without the help of the Moodle community my course format. My plan is to keep working on my course format, and make sure that it works and it is as bug free as possible before Moodle 2.0 is finished.

Congratulations on your successful summer of code. I don’t understand at least 80% of what you’re talking about, but I’ve been rooting for ya!
