Welcome to the Public Media group. This group is an umbrella group for supporting and discussing the various uses of Drupal in public media. This is a place to discuss the issues that arise with Drupal implementations, open data formats, station specific configurations, and industry specific requirements.
If you work for a public media organization, please add your name to the list of Public Media Stations Using Drupal. If you have built a module for a public media organization, please add it to the list of Public Media Modules. If you are looking for an audio player, check out this list of Modules that Extend the Media Module.
Catch us on IRC in #drupal-pubmedia on irc.freenode.net. Join us there to ask questions, propose ideas, let us know about your projects, and more. Check out Drupal.org for more info about IRC and Drupal including how to start an account and connect.
We also maintain a list of Drupal developers with public media experience.
Station Module Requirements
The purpose of this wiki page is to develop a list of functional requirements for the Station module as development proceeds. The list is divided into Must Haves, Nice to Haves, and Future Considerations. Please add your own station's requirements to the list under the appropriate category with your d.o username next to each that you agree with. Please consult the group before demoting any requirement.
When a general consensus direction is reached on each requiremnt, these can be turned into issues at the Station issue queue http://drupal.org/project/issues/search/station

Here's an example of a public media site setup (TTBOOK.org).
Included are some of the modules and settings used, along with documentation procedures.
How have you set up and documented your public media sites?
Do you have any recommended modules or procedures?
Public Media Modules
This is a list of modules that were built for or by public media organizations. This is NOT a list of all modules that have to do with public media in a general sense.

Read moreWelcome!
We had a great discussion in the Public Media Drupal Developer's Clinic at the Integrated Media Association/SXSW Conference. Everyone in attendance agreed that we need a place to continue our discussion about Drupal in public media. There are many places where could share information and we decided this Public Media Drupal Group would be the most logical place. We felt that we could use this group to post questions, make announcements about modules we are developing, and more.
If you work for a public media organization that that uses Drupal, please add your name to the list of Public Media Stations using Drupal.
Let us know what's on your mind!

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:

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.

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.
Read moreStrategies 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?

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.

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.
Read moreBeginner 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...
