OpenBlock Geolocation Hack-a-thon at MIT Media Lab
MIT and Hacks/Hackers are hosting an OpenBlock hack-a-thon Oct. 30 at noon. Why should local Drupalists care?
OpenBlock by itself is an interesting news aggregator, but it's various components, which can be de-coupled, could be very cool, doing everything from auto-geotagging content, very customizable mapping, and much more. Tapping into these components could help a lot of Drupal sites I've seen.
RSVP here for the meetup:

US perspective :
Public Media Stations using Drupal
While there is a list of newspaper sites using Drupal, a list of public media sites using Drupal with more details creates a starting point for collaboration between stations. I will add to this list over the next few days based on stations I've been in contact with through the course of the Radio Engage project. Please feel free to add and modify this page to create a comprehensive resource.

Which is best option for Knowledge Management Portal?
Drupal development - staging - Production - deployment strategies
Dear all,
I thought it would be very helpful if I would bring it up here.
Our situation is that we are moving a large, multi-user knowledge management Portal into private beta. While we wish to have a "live" version of the site, with content creation, file upload , image upload and addition etc, we wish to maintain active development on several aspects of functionality.
Strategies for moving features from stage to production?
It's gotten to the point I've realized I should stop mucking around with features on our live site and create a stage or development site.
This seems tricky with a newspaper, though, because if you work on the stage for a week and then just move it live, you're wiping out a week's worth of uploaded content.
What are you using for moving features, etc from stage to production?
Senior CMS Web Developer | NPR
Do you love listening to NPR stations? Would you like to help build web technologies that support public radio?
Am I crazy for doing dozens of roles?
I'm working on building out user badges as a major feature on a news site, where users can submit or vote on various amounts of various types of content to get X or Y badge, some of which give the users new permissions and some of which are merely decoration.
Facebook Connect
The web presence of SpareChangeNews.Net remains, unfortunately, small at best. As a primarily print publication, we've had a hard time getting our writers and editors on board with the website, let alone our readers.

Beginner Druplar in Community Media
Hi All,
Just attended the ACM Conference in Portland and got pretty stoked about all Drupal has to offer. I work in a Windows environment and would like to start a virtual machine to get acquainted with the Drupal architecture and the more active functional modules. This seems like a good place to start.
Should I download Drupal first?
Do I need LAMP or WAMP or MAMP or what...lol...
Also, I plan on logging all my progress and challenges along the way to create some useful tools for non profit drupal roll-outs...
And by God I need as much help as I can get...
Thanks...
