Collaborative Web Development Success for Community Media
The idea that community media centers can work together to build web based solutions that address a broad range of needs has, for a long time, been just an idea. However, the recent Community Media Drupal Summit in Austin, TX helped lay a foundation for building peer to peer support for the evolving web based development environment serving the day to day needs of community media centers. Come learn how organizations large and small can tap into this existing code base and what successful adoption, implementation and maintenance of these tools entails.
This is the description of the session at the Alliance for Community Media National Conference.
What should we cover in this sessions? What do you think the goals should be?
Now's the time to chime in.

Case-Studies?
One idea: I would think case-studies of the different approaches that could be characterized as "successful implementation" would be really helpful. Like we've discussed in the past, some stations have spent tens of thousands of dollars, while others (like yours) have been able to leverage the tools with much less. It'd be good for different stations to see what approaches are viable for them based on the resources they have available.
Also, demonstrations of the impact the tools have had at various stations would be invaluable. Are people experiencing staff-time savings? Other measurable benefits?
Whatever your first issue of concern, media had better be your second, because without change in the media, the chances of progress in your primary area are far less likely. http://denveropenmedia.org
