Hey, folks. Drupaldojo.com has been cleaned up a bit, with some new colour tweaks and a funktacular new Mini Lessons page. The carousel now only stocks lessons, so you'll have to use the mini-lesson/coffeetalk buttons to find those other links. Please take a moment to browse through drupaldojo.com and tell me what feature or adjustment you feel it needs most. C&C welcome!

New features:
-Re-organized
-Doodleboard!
Features that have been requested:
-separate links for torrent/non-torrent download of screencasts
-return of 'Resources' page

Now, more importantly:

Do you find yourself with twenty minutes to spare, a microphone and a burning desire to help your fellower drupalers?


Submit a mini-lesson! Choose an aspect of drupal you're familiar with, be it installing/configuring a module, information about your favorite hook, or how you built your last drupal site, and tell us about it!
Reasons this is awesome:

  • You help your fellow man
  • You build massive karma
  • I'll build you an saucesome avatar.

If you have any questions or need help getting started, drop by the irc channel, and one of us ( dvessel, magdelaine, webavant, senpai, add1sun, josh_k, dmitrig01. ) will be around to walk you through it.

fresh graphics ...

dipen chaudhary's picture

hi ..
My congratulations on the website, graphics look very fresh and very appealing to eyes ...
Screencast of the mini lessons are hosted on blip.tv, why dont we have them on google/UTube ?
Its more accessible and we can even download it for later listening, It helps my case as I can acess them through my university lab and download n listen to audio at my room, they have good bandwidth on university lab.
Site is very good, I saw dimitri's mini lessons n they were really good for a beginner like me, If you want someone to transcribe those lessons in text, then I got some free time..

regards ...

If you'd like to transcribe the mini-lessons, that would actually be a huge help! It's also a good way to really strengthen your own knowledge in those fields. If you get a chance, just type them up as a wiki entry in this group, and I'll link them in.

Screen Capturing software for Linux

dipen chaudhary's picture

hi ..
We Still Dont have a "how to" on "how to create a mini lesson", It will be great if someone can write some tricks and tips on creating a mini lesson. I particularly need to know about a good and free screen capturing software. I use ubuntu these days, so it will be great if any of u ubuntu user could tell me about the software and the repository for it (We love easy package management).

@dipen - the reason for choosing blip.tv in front of youtube and google video is because you can download the soource video from blip. With source we mean, the fullscreen high quality video. Both google video and youtube provides a useless resolution for these kinds of videos.

Over the next couple of days, the new video hosting should go live and all these problems should fade away - hopefully!

Bittorent

TallDavid's picture

Could we get a Bittorent option for the training videos? I'd like to pull down high quality copies to be reviewed when I have time. Could we make bittorrent a defacto option for obtaining videos?
