This web based event engages a global audience of Moodle practitioners, administrators and decision makers in one event for an online e-conference with a difference! The core aim of the iMoot is to ignite the sense of community and sharing for which Open Source and in particular Moodle is famous for.  An event for a meeting of minds to share the best of each of us with the others. With a new iMoot event comes a new site. Please make sure to point your browser to http://www.imoot.org to check out our new site. The forums are operational and registrations are open, this year with earlybird rates for those who want to get in before the rush.
