Core, contributions and trends

As a supplement to the Media group, I launched Drupal Media today to help with the ongoing Media sprint efforts. On its front page, you'll see a map to the next sprint (which is at Mansueto - 7 World Trade Ctr, New York, NY this Friday-Saturday, October 23-24, from 9-5). Tabs are also available for discussions (add your own), videos, and a feed to the Media module issue queue. Please give me any feedback or desired functionality that would be useful for the site. (Including long-term plans for the useful domain, contributed by the good folks at Development Seed.)

Don't forget that you have to pre-register if you plan to come to the sprint, with your full name. Hope to see you there, or at #drupal-media in IRC!

The Media module is progressing along nicely! We have a FAQ and a Roadmap in place, and an Alpha launch planned for the Sprint at the Open Media Camp in Denver.

This session will give a brief demo and overview of current progress. We'll also spend some time talking about how YOU can participate!

(My previous post mysteriously disappeared. Pardon if this becomes a double post.)

I've just ported my Swedish introduction to Views to English! It can be viewed at blip.tv or downloaded from tr.im/drupal.

The screencast is a step-by-step guide into Views (for Drupal 6, of course), covering the following:
* Download and installation
* Creating a simple list page + the basic settings
* Creating a table
* The point of grouping fields
* Creating and enabling a Views block

Arthur and I will co-present a recap of last week's exciting Media Code Sprint, held in various offices in NYC! We'll be doing this with the Drupal Dojo, using DimDim.

Why You Want to Be There

• Because you want to learn about the future of multimedia in Drupal.
• Because you want to help transform multimedia handling for Drupal.
• Because everything you thought you knew about Drupal and multimedia is about to be obsolete (and why that's a good thing)...

I'll post a synopsis and schedule in the morning, so stay tuned!

I posted this in the Image group but haven't got any response yet. May be because the title is about user-managed galleries but in fact it is about user managed node hierarchies ;-)
