Always helpful to record DUG meetings to share to everyone. We should do the same... eventually.

If you know any good video source, please share them here on this thread!

Hi group,

DVD's for drupal camp India have been travelling a lot and its been 2 months since drupal camp india, I finally heeded several mails asking about videos and went ahead and ripped all the DVD's into separate videos for each session. Find below the links to all the sessions but one, Case study of I Love Bolly had CRC error in one the VOB files (I am trying to get that online too)

They've announced a Drupal Con coming to Paris in 2009..

Lots of cool things happenings, suggest we schedule time for online conf to introduce everyone and see what's going on.. Dan..
any timeline?

For those who don't know, LA Drupal has been posting our meeting videos over at http://drupal-la.blip.tv and you can totally check out almost the entire meetings you missed or want to see over again. Tonight we are proud to announce Scott Nelson's four part recording from our May 2008 meeting. Scott covered the Services module, and the AMFPHP module for hooking up Ajax, XML-RPC, JSON, and Flex/Flash to Drupal.

Microsoft announced this week that they were going to stop purposefully breaking Internet Explorer's activex controls, rolling back the "click to activate" activex message that has been wasting the time and annoying the hell out of web developers for the past two years. According to the MSDN blog that announced the change this change won't require any actions on the part of developers:

It’s important (and cool) to note that this change will require no modifications to existing webpages, and no new actions for developers creating new pages. We are simply reverting to the old behavior. Once Internet Explorer is updated, all pages that currently require “click to activate” will no longer require the control to be activated. They’ll just work.

But, what about all of those people (myself included) who had to use all sorts of hacks and javascript embedding methods to work around this idiotic IE "quirk"? Also, are there any modules that include hacks to remove this error? If so they may need to get updated to reflect the change.

Anyway, at the very least future development that includes video and other embedded media should become a bit less of a pain.

The video recordings of FrOSCon are available now.
Anyone interested, finds the BitTorrent links in the d.o handbook pages [1].
A streaming version of all twelfe videos is available on our website at erdfisch.de [2].

In cooperation with our freelancers Claudia Todt and Kai Thierfelder, who actually did all the hard work with filming and capturing, we managed to produce some nice videos. Thanks to them and all the other people involved, we had a great time heard many interesting things.
