Chamilo AssociationChamilo Association:
• it is a non-profit organization according to Belgian law
• it is open to all stakeholders: companies, non-profit organizations, users…(contrary to Dokeo$ which circles around one ‘owner’ company)
• trademark Chamilo lies with the Chamilo Association
• radical choice for open source (GPLv3) embedded in the statutes
• transparent decision making process based upon the legal structure of a non-profit organization:
• General Assembly:
• one vote per full member
• elects the Board of Directors
• discusses long term policies
• Board of Directors: responsible for day to day policy
• Present structure of Chamilo 1.8.x is too restrictive• Learning Management system of the first generation: set of
loosely integrated tools• Documents, exercises,... are saved / locked within a
course:– platform wide search function is difficult to make– objects are not reusable or shareable– problem of uncontrolled duplication of data
• The course metaphor is restrictive, does not really fit:– projects– communication within specific groups or communities– any type of collaboration that is not course related
• Integration with other applications is possible but difficult
