public media

The NPR API module has a 1.0 release! Download the module, try it out, report bugs, submit feature requests, and help make it better for all of us.

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?

If you are at DrupalCon Denver this week, come by the public media Birds of a Feather session (BoF) on Wednesday at 5pm in Room 212:

Anyone interested in public media is welcome!

This is an announcement of sorts, but more importantly I'm looking for feedback.

My name is Matthew Tift and I'm a Drupal developer at Wisconsin Public Radio, one of numerous public media organizations switching to Drupal.

As we near the completion of year-1 of the Open Media Project, I thought it might be useful to provide a brief history so-far. Part of my agreement in winning the Knight News Challenge grant that made the Open Media Project possible was to post frequent updates to the PBS Idealab Blog. Looking back, those entries provide a good timeline of year-1, and a look forward at year 2.

You can see all 10 entries at http://www.pbs.org/idealab/tony_shawcross_1/

Garrett congrats on the launch of KHUM. We're knee deep in developing a Drupal radio distribution for public media stations as part of our work on a Knight grant for the News Challenge. We are also using the current release of station but finding that we need to make modifications based our needs as it relates to shows and the schedule display.

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.

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. KUSP (one of three local public radio stations) was well represented, as was the Santa Cruz Design Center. There were also folks from American Public Media, KQED (public media behemoth in San Francisco - radio, TV, etc.), and Peter and Kwai from Santa Cruz Community TV. (No staff from SCCTV, though.) Most of the participants were pubic media and social media activists and enthusiasts.
