Just got back from the first (well that I know of) Vermont Drupal User's Group, and it was lovely to meet other Vermonter's who are working with Drupal. That much better to have it in my own back yard. It is really interesting to see how high the level of conversation is- especially from people who do not consider themselves coders. I think it really points to how sophisticated the community of Drupal is- from users to developers. The next one will be in Burlington, September 9th, 4pm, location TBA.

The power and flexibility of FFmpeg is a strength and a weakness. While it provides a huge number of options, it’s easy to create a configuration that actually doesn’t work. Case in point has been my experience with Media Mover- the most common thing that people want to use it for is creating FLV files from a variety of source material.

Doug Green just did a great presentation for us on SimpleTest. It is really inspiring to see how straight forwarding adding testing is to modules. I spent a few minutes to add the frame work to Media Mover and very very… well, simple test. This first one is not much but for the 1.0 release, I will start adding more…

I asked Jacob to start doing some integration of workflow support into Media Mover so that various triggers could be called from inside of Media Mover. We went back and forth between using Workflow and Workflow NG and ended up going with Workflow NG as it offered a much higher level of of sophistication.
