Hello,

I am in the process of re-doing friends' static band website in Drupal. I have installed Drupal and have downloaded a bunch of modules. So far, so good.

I am hoping to find someone that I can hire on an occasional, hourly basis to provide expertise and help as I go through the process so that it doesn't take a year to complete. I am on a deadline so I need to keep things moving at a pretty quick pace.

The Media Sprint in late October was amazing! Jody and Maarten hunkered in one corner and bashed out the UI, while Peter and Darrel worked out some of the FileField integration. Meanwhile Arthur whipped out a File Metadata implementation, and I began teasing the existing work out of Drupal 6 and into Drupal 7.

Also in the fray were Jonathan, Forest, Rob, Oleg, and Jen, who participated in varying degrees. Jen also took the opportunity to begin a cool new core theme for Drupal 7, and with Darrel's help took some time to give us a pre-fab image field with core articles! W00T!

The sprint was an amazing success. The module actually works now, as evidenced by Arthur's demonstration screencast. After installing Media, you can actually browse your file system in the administrative screen, with lovely thumbnails representing the file objects. The same action is also available when uploading a new file.

In the past couple of weeks, we've also made strides towards implementing remote streams, with the Media: YouTube module almost ready for unveiling.

Google has added streaming music results to its normal search page from a variety of different sources.

As a supplement to the Media group, I launched Drupal Media today to help with the ongoing Media sprint efforts. On its front page, you'll see a map to the next sprint (which is at Mansueto - 7 World Trade Ctr, New York, NY this Friday-Saturday, October 23-24, from 9-5). Tabs are also available for discussions (add your own), videos, and a feed to the Media module issue queue. Please give me any feedback or desired functionality that would be useful for the site. (Including long-term plans for the useful domain, contributed by the good folks at Development Seed.)

Don't forget that you have to pre-register if you plan to come to the sprint, with your full name. Hope to see you there, or at #drupal-media in IRC!

Fellow Media Moguls,

We're shaking off the dust from the Media module, which was sadly neglected during the heady Summer of Code, where we got Stream Wrappers into core! I'm excited to meet now with my fellow Drupalistas, and get the module presentable for Drupal 7 (and Drupal 6, if anyone is interested in helping on that front).

Hey guys,

I just wanted to give a headsup to some emerging sites that benefit musicians. I recently checked out both Bandcamp.com and Muxtape.com and they are both doing some very cool things.

Bandcamp

I thought that I would join the group as it looks like a good source of infomation regarding audio and Drupal.

I am currnetly setting up a music based website using Drupal and the Audio module, however, I am having a few issues that I would like some help with and I'm confident that the help I need is buried deep inside this group's combined intelligence.

Now, before I fill this page with my problems and needs, I want to know if this is the correct place to do so. Are we allowd to request help here or is there a better route?

Snowy.

I wanted to reset this discussion on how Public Access and related media initiatives would benefit from collaboration in a wide range of areas from development, documentation, training, funding/fundraising, marketing, promotion, business, hosting, sales, and services.

Introduction

This is is intended as a place-holder for ideas on how Drupal can help a site admin in charge of a label/artist site.

In other words, as well as offering the obvious content editing capabilities I'd like to raise the question "what can Drupal do for You?" in the context of a site admin in charge of a label/artist site.

Using Aggregators/going direct using Drupal?
