What is Chamilo?
Chamilo is an open-source (under GNU/GPL licensing) e-learning and content management system, aimed at improving access to education and knowledge globally. It is backed up by the Chamilo Association, which has goals including the promotion of the software, the maintenance of a clear communication channel and the building of a network of services providers and software contributors.
The Chamilo project aims at ensuring the availability and quality of education at a reduced cost, through the distribution of its software free of charge, the improvement of its interface for 3rd world countries devices portability and the provision of a free access public e-learning campus.
Chamilo comes in two versions. The LMS (or "1.*") version directly builds on Dokeos. Chamilo LCMS (or 3.0) is a completely new software platform for e-learning and collaboration.
Comments and Reviews
It’s true that Chamilo LMS initially had many resources available primarily in Spanish, reflecting its strong roots in the Spanish-speaking community. However, Chamilo has now become a truly global solution, adopted worldwide by more than 40 million users—an impressive milestone for a project that thrives without subsidies or external funding.
The latest version of Chamilo introduces significant enhancements, including a more intuitive user interface, advanced reporting tools, seamless integration with videoconferencing platforms, and expanded support for SCORM and H5P. These updates further cement Chamilo’s position as a premier choice for international and professional learning environments.
Moreover, Chamilo has been recognized as part of the Interoperable Europe initiative, showcasing its adaptability and alignment with global educational standards. For more information about Chamilo’s contributions to education and its open-source potential, visit the European Commission's official page: Chamilo LMS on Interoperable Europe.

Unfortunately most of the resources available (from FAQ to blog to website) are only available in Spanish. For using the demo you have to register. Seems half-baken to me, not ready for the international usage.
