[Drupal] April Drupal Meetup: Media Magnet

[Little, Jason]

Today is the April Drupal Meetup. We'll be getting a presentation on MediaMagnet from university relations (Corey/Mike) followed by a discussion of possible ways to integrate.

Date/Time
Thursday April 9th @ 3pm

Location
175 Mount Hall

Topic

Media Magnet
Corey Hinshaw and/or Mike Butsko will give us a walk through of UCOM's latest project, MediaMagnet.

MediaMagnet is a service for aggregating and coordinating digital content across the university. For those that haven't tried it out yet, it's an amazing, game changing tool. You can pull in feeds from all your channels (site rss, youtube, twitter, facebook, etc). Then you can query items from any channel in the university.

The first 30 minutes will be a tour of the tool and QnA. For the second half, I'm hoping we can have some discussions around ways we can leverage MediaMagnet within Drupal. I'd encourage folks to spend some time thinking about or experimenting with solutions in advance of the meeting (and if you already have something great, bring it along).

Ideas
Below are a few MM things we are tossing around with respect to Drupal.

Content tagging
* custom field based integration vs taxonomy style integration
* ways to encourage 100% MM tagging
* whether to tag other content for semantics (pages)
* different uis for tagging (one field, multiple fields: one per category, convention based fields like person-name-n, autocompletes vs selectboxes)

Personnel/Course/Whatever Profiles
* Generalized activity streams
* Showing news stories in which the person/thing is tagged
* generalized fields to pull in referencing items from select channels

Source agnostic panel panes (no more twitter authorizing!)
* for an item
* in a carousel
* as a listing

Feed considerations
* http vs https (planned handling in MM)
* event formats
* guid best practices

How best to merge remote and local content.
How best to handle keyword mapping.

Best,
