Media is a module which has been in development for several years. The goal is to provide a light Digital Asset Management solution for Drupal. This means fields on files, interfaces for browsing and embedding files and the ability to reference media all over the internet. I'll be demoing some of the functionality, showing you how to set it up on your D7 site and discussing the roadmap.
The Drupal project uses "issue queues" to discuss problems and proposed new features for Drupal core, documentation, and contributed projects. In this presentation, I'll show you the basics of how to report an issue or propose a new feature, how to participate in discussions, the etiquette of reports and responses, and some tips on how to get your proposals accepted.
Presented by Jennifer Hodgdon (jhodgdon), a leader of the D.O. documentation team.
Our clients want Drupal 7 Media right now? But they don't want to wait until Drupal 7? And they don't want to pay for the development necessary to make it happen? Don't worry (too much); there are alternatives.
Aaron Winborn discusses future-proof approaches to creating and using media in Drupal 6, giving a glimpse of what's just around the corner, and harnessing some of the power that's already available, even if it is currently a state of mashing together pieces that weren't necessarily made to work nicely with each other.
