OM_Broadcast Sync - no permissions
I just tried to install the OM Broadcast Synchronization module so that I could get a nice looking feed from the Telvue onto our Drupal site. I'm not seeing the permissions for the OM Broadcast Synchronization on the admin side and I don't see the new content types that I am supposed to after the install.
Any though on what I am doing wrong?

Tightrope Announces a Commitment to Open Source Software
Tightrope has recently announced their commitment to Open Source Software by releasing several company intiatives as open source. This significant opening of the Cablecast systems means that three of the Open Media Project's beta partners (Davis, Boston and Amherst) are steps closer to integrating Drupal with their playback system.

Locked CCK Fields
We started locking CCK fields that are referenced by TVframe so that stations could tell the difference between fields they've added and could edit and fields that would likely cause a problem if modified. Yesterday we had an issue where PCM needed to alter a setting in a locked filed, so I thought I'd post the instructions for unlocking fields for everyone. There might be other ways to do this, but I use phpmyadmin to access the locked column in the content_node_field table.
PCM Scheduling Rules for Individual, Series, and Filler Programs
Portland Community Media, in partnership with Denver Open Media, has created documents explaining the rules of scheduling Producer> Project> Programs. The document includes rules for series programs, scheduled on a quarterly basis, as well as individual programs that get scheduled on a first come, first served basis.
I have also included rules on how PCM schedules filler programs.
The focus of this discussion is:
- to communicate current scheduling rules and guidelines
- to discuss other methods of annual, quarterly or daily scheduling rules used by other media centers
Open Media System Documentation Structure
Documentation Notes
This document's purpose is to outline a structure for documentation about the Open Media System.
This documentation will follow the Drupal Editorial Style Guide

First draft created on March 21, 2009.
Project Documentation
This is general documentation about the Open Media System:
- Mission and Vision
The Open Media System is the development and distribution of an open-source tool set that will enable local Public Access TV stations and Community Media organizations to collaborate as a user-driven, locally-focused alternative media network targeted at under-served communities.Based in Drupal, the project is developing a modular, web-based system that puts the community in the driver's seat and makes the media they produce more accessible locally and nation-wide through digital distribution. Leveraging thousands of open-source contributors, the tools are relatively easy and affordable to implement, transforming any CTC or Access center into a user-driven, Net2.0 portal for their community.
