FYI, I'm planning to do a Dojo session (using DimDim) sometime hopefully early this week around Embedded Media Field, with the following goals:
- Create a provider file for Hulu.com: This will cover the basic steps to create an include file for emfield, with a basic video provider who provides an API. As Hulu.com implements oEmbed, this will also give a brief introduction to that standard. As Hulu.com will not be included as part of the package of emfield, this will also show the expected way to provide a file outside of the base module.
- Create a provider file for IMDB. This media provider does not offer an API, so it gives a basic introduction to the difficulties involved in accommodating such a provider. Even though IMDB uses Hulu for its videos, their TOS prohibits page scraping. So any techniques covered in this portion of the demonstration are for instructional purposes only.
This live session will be for intermediate developers. It assumes you know how to build a module, and that you understand Drupal's hook system. It will be recorded for later viewing.
Date/time and more info later.

Tentatively scheduled Friday 3:45 EST
I plan to do this on the afternoon of Friday, March 4, as a BOF, soon after my Drupal Multimedia session. I'm not sure what time yet, and that depends on the white board for that schedule, which has not yet been posted. I'll post an update as soon as that happens. It'll probably be about 3:45, but that depends on whether I can snag a BOF room for that time slot.

Whitehouse.gov video feed
I've been trying to get the Whitehouse Speeches video feed (http://www.whitehouse.gov/rss/speeches.xml) integrated with a site using FeedAPI and Embedded Media Field. The Whitehouse.gov feed also has no API. Will the provider file creation tutorial be general enough to encompass a provider like Whitehouse.gov?
Let's do the Whitehouse instead
I already have the Hulu piece of the demo ready, but hadn't worked on the second. There are the same issues involved; i.e., if we do one, we can do the other with little modification. So I'll just do the whitehouse feed instead. Are you at DCDC?
