Laura López, de "Actual Comunicación Amodiño", empresa que se adica á xestión da comunicación dixital. Hoxe fálanos de User Generated Content 🔊"O User Generated Content fai referencia a calquera forma de contido como poden ser textos, imaxes, vídeos ou comentarios creados e compartidos por individuos en plataformas dixitais". 🔊"Quizais o exemplo máis claro deste tipo de contidos son esas reseñas que se deixan en Google ou esas experiencias positivas que se comparten en stories de Instagram". 🔊"Ao ser algo alleo á propia marca, que nace de maneira espontánea, é unha mensaxe que, en principio, non é tan sinxela de controlar ou guiar". 📢O User Generated Content fai referencia a calquera forma de contido como poden ser textos, imaxes, vídeos ou comentarios creados e compartidos por individuos en plataformas dixitais. Esta tipoloxía de contido fai evidente que a comunicación dixital ten cambiado as regras do xogo, xa que dá a posibilidade a calquer usuario de participar activamente na creación e difusión de información de calquera tipo. Xa non é so que ofreza diversidade e diferentes perspectivas, senón que lle permite crear autenticidade e conexión emocional ás marcas que confían neste tipo de estratexias. O UGC é creado, en principio, de maneira espontánea, reflexando as experiencias e perspectivas persoais dos diferentes usuarios, o que resulta máis natural e crible ao non responder directamente aos propósitos da marca. É como se un amigo nos recomendase un producto e é precisamente por iso polo que funcionan tan ben. A fin de contas, en quen confiaríamos máis: nun colega que nos recomenda, por exemplo, a mellor rutina para o noso cabelo, ou nun descoñecido -marca ou influencer- cuxo obxectivo evidente é vendernos o seu champú? 💡Tipoloxía de UGC Quizais o exemplo máis claro deste tipo de contidos son esas reseñas que se deixan en Google ou esas experiencias positivas que se comparten en stories de Instagram, pero non son as únicas. Podemos atoparnos con: ✔️1. Valoracións e testemuñas de clientes. As reseñas, falemos da plataforma que falemos, axúdannos a tomar decisión informadas. Deste xeito, as marcas tamén poden compartir testemuñas nos seus sitios web e redes sociais para conseguir gañarse a confianza da audiencia. ✔️2. Concursos e desafíos en redes sociais. Na liña dos sorteos en redes sociais para fomentar a participación, alcance ou buscar un aumento de seguidores, atópanse os concursos e desafíos, ca fin de animar aos usuarios a crear contido relacionado coa marca a cambio dun incentivo. ✔️3. Subir fotografías ou vídeos. Non hai mellor maneira de ensinar e valorar un producto ou servizo que probándoo. Tal é así, que moitas marcas animan aos seus clientes a compartir imaxes nas súas redes sociais probando ou vestindo o seu produto. Isto pode ser a través de redes sociais, pero tamén podemos ver esta chamada á acción en tendas físicas ou no packaging do produto. ✔️4. Historias de éxito dos clientes. As empresas poden entrevistas a clientes satisfeitos e contar as súas experiencias en forma de vídeo, artigo ou publicación en redes sociais. Este tipo de historias humanizan a marca e mostran o impacto positivo que os seus produtos ou servizos tiveron na vida destas persoas. 💡Como incorporalo na nosa estratexia de contidos como empresa? Ao ser algo alleo á propia marca, que nace de maneira espontánea, é unha mensaxe que, en principio, non é tan sinxela de controlar ou guiar, polo que seguir as seguintes directrices poden botarnos unha man para aproveitar este tipo de contido. ✔️● Participación activa. Fomentar a participación do público da maneira axeitada é sinónimo de crear interaccións significativas para nós. Para logralas existen moitos recursos que van dende unha sinxela chamada a acción ata a posta en marcha de concursos ou desafíos. ✔️● Cancelos específicos. Os hashtags corporativos se se empregan ben poden ser útiles e non un grito ao baleiro. Se creamos un cancelo único e relacionado coa nosa marca, acción específica ou campaña -sendo máis orixinais que #NomeDaTúaMarca-, pódese animar aos usuarios a empregalo, o que non só favorecería a participación, senón tamén a creación de comunidade. ✔️● Recoñecer e agradecer. Xa din por aí que é de ben nacido ser agradecido e en redes sociais non é unha excepción. Expresar gratitude cara as persoas que crean contido sobre a nosa marca é unha maneira de fortalecer unha conexión emocional e, pasiño a pasiño, conseguir que estes usuarios rematen por ser embaixadores da nosa marca. E como podemos agradecer? Enviando produtos, invitándoos a un evento ou simplemente dando as grazas publicamente. 💡A profesionalización: os UGC creators Os UGC creators son persoas que crean contido orixinal relacionado con produtos, servizos ou marcas, pero dende a perspectiva dun consumidor, non como figura pública ou influencer tradicional. Os UGC creators xeran contido que parece xenuíno e cotián, como reseñas, unboxings, demostracións ou titoriais. O seu estilo adoita ser máis natural e menos producido que o dun influencer. A diferenza destes, o seu obxectivo non é acumular seguidores, senón crear contido para que as marcas o empreguen nas súas propias redes, páxinas web ou campañas publicitarias. De feito, moitas veces son contratados por marcas para crear contido específico que loce como se fose espontáneo pero está planificado para promover un produto. 💡Os beneficios do UGC ✔️● Autenticidade e credibilidade. É a clave do UGC, a fin de contas, para os consumidores, poder contar cun feedback real doutro consumidor é chave para decidirse a probalo. ✔️● Maior feedback con menos esforzo. Este contido creado por usuarios adoita recibir maior interacción que aqueles que foron creados polas propias marcas. ✔️● Menor custo. Aínda que moitas veces poida ser gratuíto, non sempre é así. A súa profesionalización por parte destes pequenos usuarios conleva a certo gasto para as marcas, pero é moi baixo (a cambio de produtos, por exemplo). ✔️● Visibilidade. Contribúe a que a marca gañe posicionamento en buscadores. En definitiva, é unha estratexia estupenda para unha marca xa que, como usuarios, está claro que preferimos escoitar a unha persoa real dando unha opinión sen filtros que a unha marca intentando vendernos o seu produto. ❓Pregunta para a próxima semana: desconectades no verán? 👉Máis Información ACTUAL COMUNICACIÓN Amodiño: ✔️Páxina Web: https://actualizadoscomunicacion.com/ ✔️Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/actualizadoscomunicacion ✔️Twitter: https://twitter.com/actualizadoscom ✔️Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/actualizados_comunicacion/ 🎙️"SUSCRÍBETE" ao podcast.👍 👉MÁIS ENTREVISTAS: https://www.ivoox.com/podcast-salta-da-cama_sq_f1323089_1.html 👉Máis Información e outros contidos: ✔️Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PabloChichas ✔️Twitter: https://twitter.com/pablochichas ✔️Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pablochichas/ ✔️Clubhouse: @pablochichas ✔️Twich: https://www.twitch.tv/pablochichas

In this thought-provoking episode of "Father and Joe," Joe Rockey and Father Boniface invite listeners to embark on a profound exploration of the indispensable role the Church has played in shaping our modern world. The episode begins with Joe recounting a vivid mental image of the crucifixion as a catalyst for the birth of the Church, underscoring the intimate relationship between Jesus and Mary at that pivotal moment. This visualization leads to a broader introspection about the myriad aspects of life we often take for granted, much like electricity during a power outage.Father Boniface expands on this notion, emphasizing how the Church has been the bedrock of countless modern advancements. Contrary to popular belief, the Church's influence extends well beyond spiritual guidance to include nurturing the growth of science, art, education, healthcare, and even the very foundations of Western civilization. From Galileo and Kepler to the architectural marvels that dot our urban landscapes, the Church's contributions are immeasurable.The conversation takes a practical turn, as Father Boniface and Joe challenge listeners to imagine a world without these contributions—a world where essential moral frameworks, scientific inquiry, and artistic endeavors never reached their full potential. The Church's historical commitment to fostering intellectual curiosity and compassion has provided humanity with tools to face the future with hope and innovation.Listeners are encouraged to appreciate the profound interconnectedness of human endeavor and divine inspiration. This episode highlights the importance of recognizing and nurturing the unique talents each of us brings to the table, advancing the Church's mission in diverse, meaningful ways. As we make use of our gifts to benefit others, we build on a legacy of faith-driven achievements that have sculpted both past and present.Join Joe and Father Boniface in this enriching dialogue that calls upon each of us to rediscover the foundations of our faith, recognize the Church's unseen influence in our lives, and aspire to contribute to its enduring mission. Together, let's engage with our spirituality, cultivate gratitude for our shared history, and step into our roles as active participants in a community bound by love, purpose, and faith.Tags:Faith, Church, Spirituality, Community, Purpose, Gratitude, Science and Faith, Historical Influence, Modern Civilization, Intellectual Curiosity, Artistic Contribution, Healthcare, Education, Western Civilization, Modern Science, Personal Talents, Contribution, Spiritual Direction, Divine Inspiration, Legacy, Innovation, Moral Frameworks, Global Influence, Relationship with God, Individual Calling, Society, Dependence, Forward-Looking, Creativity, Compassion, Hope, God, Love, Western Values, Empowerment, Fellowship, Historical Accounts, Contentment, Fulfillment, Meaningful Service, Connection, Modern Church.Hashtags:#FaithJourney, #RediscoverChurch, #SpiritualDirection, #GratitudeInFaith, #ChurchContributions, #HistoryOfScience, #FaithAndScience, #CulturalHeritage, #SpiritualGrowth, #PurposefulLiving, #CommunityInFaith, #WesternCivilization, #ArtAndFaith, #DivineInspiration, #RoleOfChurch, #MoralValues, #IntellectualCuriosity, #SpiritualAwakening, #EducationalImpact, #HealthcareLegacy, #HumanConnection, #ChurchAndModernity, #GlobalFaith, #RelationshipWithGod, #ChurchInfluence, #SpiritualLegacy, #CreativityAndFaith, #CompassionateLiving, #ModernGod, #EmpowermentThroughFaith, #LegacyOfTheChurch, #FellowshipTogether, #HistoricalInfluence, #GodAndCulture, #ContentmentInFaith, #ServingWithLove, #CulturalImpact, #BuildingTheFuture, #FaithAndHope.

Today we are talking about Drupal Contribution, how you can approach it within your company, and why a Contrib First approach is important with guest Steve Wirt. We'll also cover Config Importer & Tools as our module of the week. For show notes visit: https://www.talkingDrupal.com/490 Topics What is contrib first How does this help the Drupal community Why is it a good idea for companies How do you explain this to non dev folks like CEOs or Presidents What do you say if a client does not buy in How do you monitor and build confidence in other developers How can someone get started Any tools or tips for someone trying to bootstrap this Resources MOTW https://www.drupal.org/project/confi https://www.drupal.org/project/upgrade_tool Civic Actions Practice Tools - Contrib First Civic Actions Engineering Practice Area - Drupal Contrib First Module Development Codit menu tools Alt text validation - currently being built as Contrib First Bill requiring US agencies to share custom source code with each other becomes law Link shortners http://dgo.re/ or https://dgo.to/ link shorteners for d.o Drupal Contrib Development Contribution to a module Guests Steve Wirt - civicactions.com swirt Hosts Nic Laflin - nLighteneddevelopment.com nicxvan John Picozzi - epam.com johnpicozzi Avi Schwab - froboy.org froboy MOTW Correspondent Avi Schwab - froboy.org froboy Brief description: Have you ever wanted to streamline the management of config changes during your Drupal project deployment - importing individual configuration changes from contrib or custom modules and synchronizing settings across different environments? There's a module for that. Module name/project name: Config Importer and Tools Brief history How old: created in April 2016 by Andrii Podanenko(podarok) Versions available: 3.2.0 version which works with Drupal 9 and 10, D11 fixes are in the queue. Maintainership Actively maintained - although it's a developer module that's been mostly stable, so there have not been many recent changes. Security coverage Test coverage - unit tests Documentation - video documenting the process on the module page and instructions in the project overview Number of open issues: 8 open issues, 3 of which are bugs against the current branch Usage stats: 300 sites Maintainer(s): 7 maintainers across a few different agencies in Ukraine Module features and usage This module has no UI, and all of its work is done using it's config_import services, either importer or param_updater The importer service imports full config files The param_updater service pulls in single parameters from a config file. Both can be used in .install files of contrib modules or on your own site to pull in configuration during database updates, which can be helpful for adding a new feature, modifying existing features, or pushing changes to many sites. There is also a “spiritual successor” to the Confi module called “Upgrade Tool” which has similar functionality with some extra functionality too. https://www.drupal.org/project/upgrade_tool

Drupal 11 is all of that and more Module name/project name: Drupal 11 Brief history How old: created on Aug 2 by catch of Tag1 and Third & Grove Module features and usage Limited additions vs 10.3: by design to make the transition easier Mostly in the recipes API, e.g. new config actions Recap of new features vs. 10.0 Workspaces Revisions and workflow are possible in the UI for Blocks and Taxonomy Terms UI updates for creating and reusing fields, as well as bulk content operations New Access Policy API and Single Directory Components New Navigation and Announcements Feed modules Contrib support out of the gate: about ⅔ of the top 200 modules already support Drupal 11 Adding modules that Rector estimates will only need info.yml or automated fixes brings us to over 80% of the top 200, or about 75% of all Drupal 10-compatible projects on Drupal.org Updated dependencies: PHP 8.3, Symfony 7, CKEditor 5 42.0,2, Twig 3.9, Yarn 4, jQuery 4.0.0-beta, jQuery UI 1.14-beta.2 and more Modules moved to contrib (smaller core): Actions UI Activity Tracker Book Forum Statistics Tour Drupal 10 will receive maintenance support until mid-2026, so the community created this release of Drupal 11 early to give sites as much time as possible to make the transition, in this case almost 2 years!

Today we are talking about Drupal 11 Readiness, What you need to think about, and PHPStan with guest Matt Glaman. We'll also cover MRN as our module of the week.

There's a web app for that Module name/project name: MRN which is short for Maintainer / Module Release Notes Brief history How old: created in Aug 2022 by today's guest Matt Glaman Maintainership Actively maintained, latest updates were earlier this year Code project at https://github.com/mglaman/drupal-mrn has 13 open issues Usage stats: Currently no usage reporting, but a tool I've been using a ton lately as I get modules ready for Drupal 11 Module features and usage It's very simple to use, you just enter the machine name of your project, and then the numbers of the releases you want it to compare It will generate the structure for your release note, include a spot for you to write a summary at the top, a list of contributors that links to their profiles, and a list of issues Previously part of Matt's drupalorg CLI project, MRN is now a lambda function on AWS, so there's nothing to download or install I like that you can choose which tags you want to compare, so if the release is part of a branch that doesn't yet have a stable release, I'll put a comparison to the previous release in the branch at the top, and then a comparison to the current stable release below it, so people can see the full list of everything new they'll get by moving from the stable release It's worth noting that because this works from the git history, you need to make sure you credit everyone properly before clicking to merge an MR in the Drupal.org UI. You can give credit to other people after the fact using the checkbox and they'll get contribution credits, but won't be included in the release notes generated by MRN

Today we are talking about Front End Performance, Common Front End Issues, and Ways to test and fix said issues with guest Andy Blum. We'll also cover Webp Fallback Image as our module of the week.

There are a number of modules for that, today we're going to talk about… Brief history How old: created in Jun 2022 by pedrop Versions available: 1.0.0 and 1.1.0 versions available, both of which support Drupal 8, 9, and 10 Maintainership Actively maintained Number of open issues 3, 2 of which are bugs Has test coverage Usage stats: Almost 252 sites Maintainer(s): Most recent release is by dj1999 Module features and usage Anyone using testing tools like Lighthouse will have seen suggestions to use modern image formats like WebP, and with good reason. They allow for much smaller image files at the same quality, which means a better user experience and less bandwidth used by both the server and the visitor. WebP is a natural choice because it enjoys over 95% browser support, but many sites still care about that other 5% Drupal core added its own support for webp in 9.2, but without a fallback image, so browsers that don't have WebP support have been out of luck Contrib modules have allowed for generating a webp image and a jpeg fallback, to allow for universal support. Typically they have worked by creating the WebP variant from the output of a core image style, so after an image has been saved as something like a jpeg. That means the resulting WebP can't compress as well, and can show compression artifacts WebP Fallback Image is different because it allows Drupal core to generate the WebP image from the source file, and then creates the jpeg fallback. Also worth noting that this module only creates the jpeg fallback when it's requested, so it doesn't add to the storage of your website unless it's needed

Chad Folkening is a very interesting guy. The entrepreneur bug hit Chad at age 14 in Indiana and eventually its tug pulled him out of college to pursue various real estate and other ventures. Attuned to technological and market change, Chad saw parallels to real estate but unlimited opportunities in the internet and jumped into domain brokerage in its early days, ultimately building one of the world’s largest portfolios, which he eventually merged into what is now Bidtellect. Along the way he has built numerous other digital businesses while also owning several historic buildings, an HGTV featured 26,000 square foot “extreme home” and a growing art collection, yet he’s otherwise a really normal, humble, midwestern guy…except that he conceptualizes digital businesses usually way in advance of others and he has the guts to pursue them, extremely successfully. Chad is currently very focused on Contrib.com, VNOC.com, Entrepreneurs.org, cryptocurrency, the blockchain and crowdsourcing and we learn more about all of those in this episode of SUP-X Radio.

Welcome to a new episode of On the Air with Palantir, a long-form podcast by palantir.net where we go in-depth on topics related to the business of web design and development. It’s June 2016 and this is episode #5. In this episode Account Manager Allison Manley is joined by our client Justin McGregor from Rhodes College. Allison caught up with Justin at DrupalCon in New Orleans last month, and spoke with him about how his school has implemented Drupal, how we worked together, and how it’s been going since. We'll be back next Tuesday with another episode of the Secret Sauce and a new installment of our long-form interview podcast On the Air With Palantir next month, but for now subscribe to all of our episodes over on iTunes. TRANSCRIPT Allison Manley [AM]: Welcome to On the Air with Palantir, a podcast by palantir.net where we go in-depth on topics related to the business of web design and development. It’s June 2016 and this is episode #5. I’m Allison Manley, an Account Manager, and today my guest is a client of ours named Justin McGregor from Rhodes College. I caught Justin at DrupalCon in New Orleans last month, and spoke with him about how his school has implemented Drupal and how it’s been going. I am here with Justin McGregor from Rhodes College. How are you? Justin McGregor [JM]: Doing well, doing well.  AM: We’re in the last legs of DrupalCon 2016, and we’re in the busy lobby of the conference hall in New Orleans. So there’s a little bit of noise behind us, but we will plow through. So tell me a bit about Rhodes College. JM: Who we are and what we do? We are a small liberal arts college nestled right in the middle of Memphis, Tennessee. If you look at a map of Memphis from above, there’s a big ring road that runs at the side, and if you throw a pin in the middle, that’s us [laughs]. We are 2000 students, roughly, 300-odd employees, traditional liberal arts curriculum covering everything from pre-law, pre-med, that sort of thing, all the way down to the study of the classics. We have a Greek and Roman studies department, and right across the quad we have people that are doing pediatric oncology at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. So it’s literally all over the map. And I get to support them all [laughs]. AM: Wow. So your college is on Drupal. How did you come to choose Drupal in the beginning?  JM: I’ve personally been an open-source advocate for a very long time. I’ve been in higher ed web work for going on 16 years now, and I’ve worked with a lot of different CMSs, none of which I could really ever evangelize for. They were really good for what they were, but, you know. At my last school I had evaluated Drupal 6 early on, but our CTO was very anti-open source. But I kind of fell in love with it then, and I’m like, one day I’m going to come back, I’m going to be in the right position at the right school to do this, Years elapsed and D7 had come to be a really mature solution, and I got the job at Rhodes. We were coming off of an aged open-text solution and also Sharepoint 2010 pointing internally. Both solutions were long in the tooth and needed to be replaced, and when I came on board, I’m like, yeah, cool, let’s do this thing, but one of my caveats was, we have to give serious consideration to open source and to Drupal specifically. And so during our CMS roadshow we looked at the two leading proprietary higher ed solutions and also to Drupal vendors for hosting and DevOps. And it became clear really early on that for our use case, Drupal was the only solution. AM: Well, great. Thank you for choosing Drupal! JM: I’m glad to be here, believe me. AM: So what does your internal team look like? What’s the composition? JM: It’s largely me. I am the only developer on staff. I work in the communications department, which actually reports to the dean of admission. So from a business perspective I work for our sales team. That being said, I do have an interactive technology manager, who is my liaison to our external services alumni and development departments. And while he’s not a Drupalist, he’s in the guts of the thing every day, doing work on the site in one capacity or another. I’m also lucky enough to have a handful of student workers, including one third-year computer science student, and while they’re contractually limited to only ten hours a week they are a massive help. And also I found out just before I left to come here that one of our vacant positions may be reclassified as a developer. If anyone’s looking for a Drupal development position in Memphis, Tennessee – just saying it’s a possibility [laughs]. AM: So you did hire Palantir, just to be transparent about things. You hired us for consulting a few times a week to support your team. What was it that you needed from us? What was it you needed to complete the project? JM: Okay, there were two projects. Let’s do them chronologically. The first one was, we’re relaunching our flagship .edu, and while I’ve been in web work for a long time, I was new to the practice of building a Drupal site. And so I knew what I wanted to accomplish, but I would go to Contrib and, here’s all the modules that are available, I could go do this by modifying a template file, or any number of things. But I needed best practices, I needed best solutions. And you can go watch training videos all day long, but they’re around the piece of technology or the specific use case that may or may not actually be the use case you’re dealing with at the time. So having somebody – the structure that I loved was, we would start the week with ‘here’s the problem of the week’. Here’s the piece of functionality that I’m going to be building. Let’s talk through all the possibilities for how this problem could be solved, and arrive at what the best practice is for this use case. And then I’d take a couple of days, get in there, work on it, build it out, and at the end of the week – nine times out of ten, it was done, but if it wasn’t, we could come back and say, here’s the specific problems I ran into, how do we work through that? The metaphor I kept using was, we ate the elephant one bite at a time [laughs]. I had six content types, a whole ton of media assets, and, ooh, I think we ended up moving about 7000 pages, a piece at a time. We took this fairly massive implementation over the course of a couple of months, and built out the framework to handle it all, and just started shovelling in the content. AM: And what was the second project? JM: So I said a minute ago that we had the open-text that was the CMS for the public-facing part of our site at the time, and also an internal SharePoint 2010 set of publishing sites. So support for that is going away, and we needed a solution, and I’m like, you know what, I’m not standing up another CMS for this, let’s just go multi-site and do it all in Drupal. But then we have the challenge of standing up branded sites in a hurry for every little department, grant, professor, whatever, that had had a SharePoint 2010 publishing site before this. And so what we worked through was, first of all, building a road-specific installation profile of Drupal, so that out of the box, all of my content types were there, all of the branding was there – there’s the branding they can change and the branding they can’t change, as a site owner. And also the mechanism for site ownership and how that’s going to work. And the second part of that was to automate a good chunk of the deployment, so I can do from the handful of things that I have to do in my DevOps environment to a functioning Drupal site. The last one I set up took me about five minutes, which is not a bad way to go. AM: I don’t know if I’ll have time to do that today, boss, it took me five whole minutes [laughs]. So what were your goals for your site? JM: To drive recruitment, more than anything. We need students. More than that, though, higher ed is generally in the position of having – as much as we say that the mantra of the site is to drive recruitment, and we say that over and over, we have parents, we have alumni, we have the colleagues of our tenured faculty, on and on. Researchers that are coming because of the disciplines we teach and the research that we do. Researchers from around the country want to come see the research that’s being done here, to be able to collaborate, all of this stuff. So ease of discoverability of whatever piece of content that’s relevant to that audience – now that we’ve been in Drupal and been in production for a year and change, we’re really starting to look seriously at personalization. It’s sort of the standard higher ed model to have the audience navigation across the top – you’re a parent, you’re an alumni, you’re a current student, yada yadda yadda. But once you’re in the guts of the site, that just starts to bleed away, you know? And so being able to contextualize information based on what we know about the person coming in is steadily going to become more and more important to us. Part of that to be handled through Drupal and part of that through CRM integrations, with both Salesforce and an admissions-specific product called Slate.  AM: So personalization is next down the road. Excellent. So what was your working relationship with Palantir? What did it look like on a day-to-day, week-to-week basis? JM: So both of the consulting setups were more or less the same. We identified an hour early in the week where we could, you know, bang around what this week’s problem was, and then an hour later in the week, how did it go, staging for next week’s problems, or if something didn’t get done because I had a roadblock or whatever. Both of the guys I worked with were fantastic. Even if we weren’t on a call I could send them an email any time I wanted to, and hear back pretty darn quickly. But a lot of times I would save stuff for the call because it’s just something you need to talk through, or screen share or something. It was nice to have somebody who’s done a lot of Drupal deployments, at the front of the week, to say ‘this is what, given your current level of expertise, you can reasonably expect to get done this week without just absolutely killing yourself’. And to do that knowledge transfer early in the week that says, okay, here’s what you’re going to need to know, if you’re not hip to this, go read this, go watch these YouTube videos, whatever. Then set to the task and we’ll wrap up on the back end. Having somebody who was really expert in these sorts of Drupal deployments helping set your agenda, because I know my goals, I know my organization, but I need to know what is really realistic to do in the product in a given span of time, you know? AM: All right, so let’s start with the bad stuff, the obstacles. What roadblocks did you run into during the course of the project, and how were we able to help you remove those roadblocks? JM: I’m not new to development, I’ve been doing web work for a while, but there are sort of Drupal-specific things that, when you read through the documentation, or at least when I read through the documentation, like the hook system – they seem to work fine in the documentation, but then when you get into the guts of the system, you think, that doesn’t seem like what I just read, or doesn’t behave in the expected way. I had done a lot of front-end development prior to coming to Rhodes, and the Drupal templating system is something wholly different from anything I’d encountered before. I knew how I needed the site to behave, I knew what I needed it to look like, I knew how I needed it to respond, and all of that, but figuring out, do I do this from stacking a bunch of modules in order to handle fences, for example, which I ended up relying on a lot, to sort of get the markup back down to something reasonable and something I can work with and go from there. Or do I just dive off into the PHP and let’s make template files for everything, and that way I’m programmatically controlling markup. We had to come up with a strategy pretty early on and say, okay, for the sake of anybody who ever has to follow in my footsteps, let’s find a solution we like, and move forward with, that’s how we’re going to work. AM: So what was the biggest win over the duration of the project? I don’t know if you have one win per project, or… JM: So many. Seriously, I say that about the theming as a roadblock, but overall, both of these projects from an institutional perspective have been a resounding success. For academics not to complain about something is actually fairly rare [laughs]. That’s not to say that there weren’t people who take exception to, say, font choices, or, is that really the institutional red, it needs to be a little richer – you know, that sort of nitpicky ‘I don’t like this element of the design so I don’t like all of the design’. Overall, oh gosh, as of last week I think we’re 16 sites in, that we’ve launched so far. And yeah, all the designers have been very very happy with the end product, with the authoring experience. I’ve had some requests for new features and I like that my users are passionate enough to say, hey, this is great but here’s how we could make it even better, and to work through these things with me. I’ve got a handful of new content types that people have suggested – as I’ve been rolling out these little multi-site instances, I think that every last one of them could be used across the enterprise. And it’s great to have people that are willing to work with me on this sort of stuff, to come up with these ideas – not just for them. Probably one of the nicer things about being in a small liberal arts college is that they are mindful of the impact any change can have all the way across the organization, because they eat lunch with these people every day, you know? [laughs] So they’ve all been really successful. AM: Fantastic. So the next step you’ve mentioned for yourself, because you don’t really have a team [laughs], moving forward is the personalization piece. Anything else? JM: Well, part of the reason we selected Drupal to begin with was that it allowed us the flexibility to not deploy a site and then sort of be stuck with it forever. I mean, unlike some of the proprietaries, you get the tools that come out of the box and that’s kind of the end of it. You take one of their templates, you skin it your way, and you’re done. We’re looking at some design improvements. We did a complete redesign, this wasn’t just a move of an old design, we started from scratch and rebuilt. So there were design elements that have really worked well for us, and some things that, to use the industry jargon, aren’t converting the way we’d like them to. We’re not getting the traffic draw for some of the elements that the real estate they’re on deserves. So we’re going to take some time with the design team this summer and look at redesigning certain elements, and – I love that my templating architecture is flexible enough that there’s going to be no problem to just drop in there and, it’s all the same entities, it’s all the same data, we’re just presenting it differently. It looks like it’s going to be a fairly painless process. Also, since we’re at DrupalCon, I’m going to mention this. I’ve been at several sessions about paragraphs over the course of the last couple of days, and when I was at DrupalCon LA I went to a session and I was like, hmm, neat idea, maybe when it matures a little bit more – well, apparently it has matured a lot over the course of the last year. Because some of the things I’ve seen people do with paragraphs here are really impressive. So I’m sort of starting to daydream about some of the tools that I may be able to give my content creators, to do a lot more complicated and a lot more interesting things than they are now. There are certain things, the demand of the site and the demand of the brand, that will require us to leave some things static, but I want to give them as much creativity and as much flexibility as I can, to really make their content sing.  AM: Are you going to be able to add to your staff? JM: We’re trying to get a position for another developer, which hopefully will allow me to pull out and do a little more high-level stuff. We’ve also been steadily training more and more of our communications staff to work directly in the CMS and not rely on me or Nick or the student workers to do the layouts and content for them. And again, so far that’s gone really well. Like I said, the reason that I liked what I was seeing of paragraphs and a few of the other sessions is that, as much as I’m worried about user experience for our audience, I’m also worried about user experience for my content creators. I want them to want to work in the CMS, you know? And anything I can do to improve that situation for them – out of the box Drupal’s a great CMS to work with, but there are always ways to make it better. I’m always on the lookout for tools to help make their work better. AM: Isn’t that the thing about the Web, though – you can always make it better. Tomorrow’s another day [laughs]. JM: Exactly. AM: Well, thank you, Justin. I appreciate you taking the time, I know you’re fried – we’re all fried on the last day of DrupalCon – and there’s been a lot of knowledge and alcohol shared [laughs]. So I know everyone’s ready to relax a bit. JM: Next stop for me is the streetcar, I’m going to go to the other end of the French Market and start tchotchke shopping for the kids and hit three or four bars on the way back to the hotel, that sort of thing [laughs]. AM: Well, hopefully you’ll join us tonight at trivia night, and then at sprints tomorrow. JM: Don’t know, I have family here in town so I have some obligations there. But I’d like to put in a hour or so at the sprints and see how it goes.  AM: Well, thank you so much. I appreciate the time. JM: Thank you! AM: Thank you so much for listening.

I want to clarify about the download capabilities of the app as it stands now, because even Google Play Music’s own product managers have undersold this feature.The Google Play Music app for Android has always had a feature in the settings that restricts it to getting content when on WiFi to save on bandwidth, and I have always had it set that way. As soon as our shows became searchable in the Play Music Android app. I searched for a show and as soon as I clicked to subscribe each show, it immediately asked me if I wanted to download the three latest episodes. In both cases, I said yes. I don’t know whether that pop-up question comes to all, or perhaps only to those who had previously set the app only to get content when on WiFi. What I can definitely affirm is that for me, it gave me the option to download the most recent three episodes, and did so, since at the end I got a notification saying that those three episodes were downloaded. So no, we can’t yet specifically download specific episodes older than the most recent three. However, by setting the preferences only to get content when on WiFi, and then subscribing to a show, it will then automatically download new episodes when on WiFi. That’s not perfect, but it’s not terrible either.-------------------------------------------From Last week’s mobile recording episode about android-- here is Allen’s feedbackYes, the iRig Pre offers phantom power. I am extremely familiar with this and several other preamp/A-to-D converters from IK Multimedia (and other manufacturers) after reviewing them for ProVideo Coalition magazine. However, the two microphones mentioned by your guest from Single Gender (if I recall the them correctly) are both dynamic microphones and don't need phantom, and I wouldn't recommend using a Y-XLR cable in a situation where you needed phantom power. The two dynamic mics she are RE-20,RE-27 using are very good, and don't require phantom. If someone really wanted to connect two XLR mics which require phantom power to an Android, the simplest solution would be the iRig Pro DUO (also from IK Multimedia), which I have for review, but haven't yet published the review. It accepts up to two XLR mics, and can output phantom to each. It also works with iOS, Mac or Windows. To use it with Android, it includes the special USB OTG cable, which ends in micro USB. However, one must verify that the Android phone or tablet supports OTG. Mine fortunately does, but not all do. If you need it, I can send you a link to Android devices that support OTG.--------------------------------------------I thought you’d like to know that I featured your Spreaker Studio for desktop in my recent live webinar The new radio, and in the Castilian (aka "Spanish") version of the same webinar (done a different day), La nueva radio.I made a point-by-point comparison between the free Spreaker Studio for desktop and the US$395 Hindenburg Journalist Pro, which I use to produce most of my shows (and audio for other projects). There are many more things in common than you might think between these two apps:- Both are available for both Mac and Windows.- Both can accept multiple USB mics simultaneously. (Spreaker Studio combines them, live style, while HJP records them on independent tracks.)- Both can integrate with Skype for interviews or co-hosts.- Both can play effects live, although only HJP allows caller/co-host allows to hear the effects as they are played live.- Both can record, although HJP offers the choice of sampling rate, including 48 kHz if desired (something I covered in detail in the open letter I sent to you), while currently, Spreaker Studio for desktop will only record 44.1 kHz.- Only Spreaker Studio App is designed for live broadcast too, in addition to recording.- HJP is also a complete multitrack editor, while Spreaker Studio is not designed to be an editor.- Both are localized in multiple languages, including Castilian (aka “Spanish”), and I included screenshots of each program in Castilian.
