peg

I am just wondering if there is any module development going on for clickable agendas (also referred to as chapters and cue points) for video out there...I (along with help from others) have working code that allows for chapter-based clicking through javascript in quicktime and flash, and it also works when pulling in a video from youtube. I would like to see this code integrated (as it's in demand by many PEG stations out there), but it's currently quite a mess and needs to be cleaned up into a functional module.

Hi All,

The Alliance for Community Media NE (http://acm-ne.org/) is meeting in Burlington on the 21st and 22nd (Thurs and Fri next week). Please see http://groups.drupal.org/node/22117 post in the PEGspace group. I was thinking this would be a good chance for a Drupal meeting and for the folks in the ACM to get in touch with some of the folks working in community media in Vermont.

I'm trying to talk to a Princeton B1000 broadcast server with a Linux system. It is acting coyly and doesn't want to play. The B1000 appears to be a locked Linux box.

Anybody have any experience with Granicus? http://www.granicus.com/Streaming-Media-Government.aspx

Can a Drupal based system compete w/ Granicus' economies of scale? Is a Granicus system a good fit for a Public Access station in a small town of 9000 people? Any real life experience stories welcomed.

Thank you.

One of the things we've been looking at out here in Portland is effective crewing management and tracking through the Open Media Project. At PCM we follow a policy of "if you don't use it you loose it" where producers need to keep active (at least once a year) in order to keep their certifications up-to-date. We also follow a policy of needing to work on productions before you can start your own.

Tony Shawcross, Suzanne St. John-Crane, and Sue Buske presented in Berkeley yesterday about DIVCA (statewide CATV franchising in California). It was truly eye-opening for me.
Tony inadvertently gave us a preview of the new CivicPixel/DOM site yesterday - looks good!!

There was a public media barcamp held in Santa Cruz this weekend, and it was very interesting. The barcamp was organized by Quiddities, who is a local web development firm.

I've posted more at the Open Media Project group.

Much like living organisms are classified into groups (say, spiders) where many individual species (say, daddy long legs, black widow, tarantula) exist, we still have some distinguishing characteristics (eight legs, no wings) which separate it from other similar living organisms (say, bees).

I'd like to hear about what you would define as the distinguishing characteristics of a community media organization.

I'm cross posting this because until I came across the PEG space Birds of a Feather session at DrupalCon I had no idea that there were two Drupal groupsworking on the resource and scheduling problems faced by community broadcasts. The other group had camouflaged themselves by using the insider name of PEG instead of something I'd have recognized like Public Access TV. Hopefully this can serve as the catalyst to get the two groups cross pollenating.

I'm glad I ran into the birds of a feather session. I just wanted to start a thread so we could continue the discussion started there.

I'll start by saying that you should probably update the group's description to make it clear that mostly people would know PEG as Public Access Television.
