Many of the current maintainers of the Media module are meeting for a week-long sprint in Chicago on September 24-28 (Saturday to Wednesday) to help push the module to a stable 1.0 release, work on important features for the 2.x branch, and help plan a potential Drupal 8 media initiative.

Because space is very limited, virtual participation in the #drupal-media IRC channel is highly encouraged and welcome! If you are very interested in attending in person, please contact Dave Reid.

Portland Area: Gresham, OR. Some on site training or discussion may be necessary, much can be done remotely.
Our goal for this project is to provide the database and control infrastructure (pages, interfaces, views, forms, reporting tools and procedural support) for a system to manage, track and report on the daily operations of the facility.

The Alliance for Community Media Northeast Region is accepting proposals to redesign, and further develop the regional web site. This will be a concept to completion production. The purpose of this RFP is to provide a fair evaluation for all candidates and to provide the candidates with the evaluation criteria against which they will be judged.

The existing http://acm-ne.org web site was originally designed and produced in 2008 on a Drupal 6 and modified slightly in 2010. The site is maintained with in-house resources.

As part of the effort to refine the useful documentation for non-developers I am trying to expand kreynen's 12 step program for an OMP install. I was tempted to post this as a wiki - but it is very rough, incomplete working path at a public access TV station that just has two staff. For those who have gone through the process or my be farther along - please feel free to comment and provide any feedback. What's missing - really help us break it down. We're moving slow and steady here. - Jason

I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that displaying content directly embedded on our site from our tightrope VOD is not going to look very elegant.

With that said, I'm having problems getting it done at all. If I stream the file directly to quicktime using the URL it seems to work, but whenever I embed a windows media player on my website it gets a 404 error.

So my question is, does anyone have any decent solutions for displaying WMV files from their tightrope VOD server directly on their web site? It is one of the last hurdles we are having with our site.

Dear Drupalistas

My session is one of the finalists for FreePress.net's National Conference for Media Reform in Boston, but I need YOUR vote to help it make the final list.

The conference will focus on media reform, media policy and media activism, and will be an important opportunity to promote Drupal the Open Media Project, Open Source and Community Media to the many local and national attendees.

Documenting channelAustin's MERCI Implementation

NOTE: There has been ongoing debate as to the best location to post documentation (or even raw documentation as this is), and while www.openmediaproject.org was provisionally agreed upon as the best landing place for this, I feel that GDO OMP may be more accessible and definitely has a wider audience.

As a part of the Curriculum and Training Group, we have a work group exploring possible solutions for mapping Drupal production roles / job functions to competencies and to learning content. The objective may ultimately be to build a new module that will allow for the easy collection of topics and sub-topics across all curriculum and learning content, as well as a mechanism for managing and distributing such records.

After a lengthy discussion about metadata in 2009 (see here for one instance) kreynen created a new PBCore module to allow those using the Open Media Project to base their genres on PBCore – PBS’s internationally used genre list of 228 terms – which kreynen details nicely here .
