This session has 2 goals: 1) Demonstrate how the Open Media modules extend Drupal to allow users to do everything from reserving cameras and studios, submitting broadcast quality video, and rating those videos to determine what airs on TV in several US cities. 2) Describe the some of the steps taken to develop the culture of collaboration that continues to drive the project beyond the initial $380,000 Knight NewsChallenge grant.

Developers who want to integrate video into their websites or for a client's website face a wide variety of services and a confusing array of options and terminology. What do you do when YouTube isn't good enough? How do you choose the best solution?

This session will familiarize attendees with hosted video solutions across three price tiers, from entry-level to enterprise, and how to integrate these solutions into Drupal. We will discuss terminology, best practices and hosting providers such as:

• YouTube
• Vimeo
• CDN2
• Kaltura
• Limelight
• Brightcove

Topics include:

Drupal has the technical infrastructure for running multilingual sites. Knowing the ins and outs of the system and configuration, however, is not a trivial task.

Building scalable translation workflows that fit your organization's needs is even harder. How can you run a truly multilingual site with Drupal without going insane or broke?

The new Translation Management module is how. Built as a wrapper on top of Drupal's core translation tools and the i18n module, the Translation Management module is a new effort to automate or streamline the entire process.

Organic groups has undergone a complete rewrite making it up to date with Drupal 7. The session will cover the differences between Group and Organic groups, and how Group is taking advantage of the field API.

We will build a basic groups site without any coding.

Later, for the benefit of module maintainers, we will build an example module that integrates with Group in order to learn how to use its API, this way attendees will have a better understanding on how to upgrade the OG modules from version 6.

Drupal's theme layer is very flexible and can accommodate just about any web design. It's important for designers to remember, however, that they're not really creating a page — they're building a complete system to house the all of the site's content.

In this session, we will talk about concepting and creating a Drupal-optimized design.
