Deproduction Announces New Public Access/CTC Consulting Grant
In 2008, Deproduction was the recipient of a Knight News Challenge grant aimed at a long-term goal of helping Public Access TV stations
and Community Technology Centers better cooperate as a nation-wide
user-driven network. At the core of this grant is the collection and
implementation of a set of open-source tools developed by DOM and
others aimed at expanding the role of the community and streamlining
much of the workload of a Public Access station or CTC.
Throughout 2008, Deproduction will continue updating and developing the
various Drupal modules used in the User-Automated operation of Denver
Open Media, while integrating them with other Drupal modules developed
by our partners across the Public Access community.
By early 2009, Deproduction will make these tools available via
Drupal.org for Public Access stations and CTCs to implement. For those
organizations requiring support, Deproduction will select a group of
beta-test sites to receive comprehensive consulting, implementation,
and training services. Organizations interested in applying to be one
of the initial test-sites can complete our application form beginning
July 9, 2008, through Nov 9, 2008. Read more about Denver Open Media'a Content Management award here.
