What's Next for CMD? your input needed

A portion of the active conversation around the Community Media Drupal Project has moved over to a Slack group over the past month. In the true spirit of open source this is a less than ideal means for planning and discussing a project. I acknowledge that. But, it has been a rather active conversation which has stimulated some new thinking about the project and where organizations need to take it in 2016 and assessing where the capacity is to take it.

Non Sandbox Version of MNN Modules

Hi all,

So a while back i released all the modules developed for MNN to use the Difficult Starter Kit. Unfortunately, I couldn't easily get trusted status on Drupal so I was not able to make the modules not be sandboxes.

Luckily, Eric Goldhagen, a fellow co-owner at Openflows, has the correct permissions, so we just readded all of the projects under his ownership and they are now full on Drupal projects.

So here they are, as before, they'd need a lot of work to work for somebody other than MNN but I would love to do what i can to make that happen if people have interest.

Thoughts on Community Media 2014

Over the past few weeks as 2013 wound down and a new year spun up, I was feeling compelled to open up a conversation about the Community Media Drupal / CiviCRM kits.

I'm curious to hear about how organizations and individuals are faring with this solution for managing community media organizations and their video content. And I would like to know every instance of an organization using this software. I really hope that the adoption of these Starterkits has grown.

Barnraising / Code-a-thon October 10-11 Sturbridge, MA

I have working with the organizers of the Alliance for Community Media Northeast for their regional conference.

I pitched the idea to have a session dedicated to web development - possibly to include helping somebody get a CM site spun up from scratch. (not a migration from Facil or anything.)

So, the organizers are reserving a booth at the tradeshow. The event takes place on October 10-11 in Sturbridge, MA.

I'm throwing this out there to try and find a few folks who might want to come and help.

Also, any suggestions on structuring our time productively is most welcome.

Projects, shows, members and VODs

We're thinking about the best way to use shows, projects and VODs and the workflow around them. Currently only organizations can be members, although we also air shows by individuals or other organizations that are not members. However, we're moving towards a freemium model where it will be free to broadcast ready-made content, but other services will cost, which makes it easier for anyone to broadcast good content.

Members -> Series -> Shows

Telvue Playback Server and Cloudcast Integration With Drupal

First under the Open Media Project and now under the Community Media Drupal Initiative there have been ongoing efforts to integrate Drupal with Telvue's products. Initially, this focused on Telvue's playback servers for the purposes of moving show metadata from Drupal to Telvue and moving Telvue schedule data back to Drupal. The "original" Telvue API had its limitations and developers made requests to add needed fields. Now, in addition to the Telvue playback server there is also a Cloudcast VOD server. The Cloudcast RSS feed references VOD files and metadata on Cloudcast.

Documentation Push towards Pantheon

Have you heard....there is a lot of energy being put into pushing the Community Media Drupal kits towards a Pantheon installation.

Why?

Because community media organizations have full workloads. Our hands are dirty in real grassroots work - few of us have the budget to support the development needed for the Community Media Starter Kits. I'm not one to just advocate that one solution can solve all our web hosting problems - but this Pantheon thing looks pretty close.

How do we get there?
