Moodle HQ at the Moodlemoot
One of the benefits of attending a Moodlemoot is networking with other Moodlers from around the community and across the globe.
In Dublin, we are lucky to be joined by some well-known members of the Moodle Team.
Martin Dougiamas, Founder of Moodle
Martin is the founder and lead developer of Moodle. He lives in Perth, Western Australia. He has been working on Internet stuff for 23 years, and in particular, most of his experience has been in education at a tertiary level. He was webmaster of a large university since the web started, and manager of a WebCT system for some years after that. He has postgraduate degrees in Computer Science and Education plus most of a PhD entitled “The use of Open Source software to support a social constructionist epistemology of teaching and learning within Internet-based communities of reflective inquiry” (Moodle didn’t let him finish it!)
His main mission in life now is Moodle. He started it in 1999 and since then the project has been growing exponentially in terms of size and activity. Now he works from Moodle HQ each day with many different people from around the world on a ever-widening variety of things.

Mary Cooch, Moodle Community Educator
Before joining Moodle HQ, Mary Cooch taught languages (French and German) for 28 years in an English high school. In 2006, her school adopted Moodle and she fell in love with it and very quickly went on to show teachers in her school and elsewhere how to make the most of it, something she continues to do today with her books, videos and blog posts. Mary works as Moodle Community Educator, helping in the forums and with documentation and looking after the School demo http://school.demo.moodle.net and the Community Hub http://moodle.net. Once a teacher, still a teacher!

In the past, David was freelance developer (PHP, Python, Zope/Plone, Lotus Notes), ICT teacher and information literacy researcher. His PhD in pedagogy focused on cognitive skills required for processing structured data, information and knowledge (that’s why you may notice him sketching various mind and concept maps on random subjects).
David is maintainer of the Czech language pack for Moodle. He is the author of several Moodle plugins, including Workshop 2.x module and other add-ons. He is the author and the current maintainer of AMOS, the Moodle language translation tool.

Following the large scale Moodle deployment for schools, Dan also worked on a number of other projects with universities in the UK, helping support and develop Moodle for institutions such as The Open University, University College London, Goldsmiths and Lancaster University.
In 2012, Dan moved from the UK to Perth, Australia to join the team at Moodle Headquarters and recently returned to the UK where he continues to work full time for Moodle HQ.
