Drupal is the quiet revolution behind the scenes of the Internet. Multimedia is the storm front, as the Internet takes its place among the more traditional forms of media: print, movies, audio. It even threatens the place of television as the medium of choice for many people.
It is natural as the technology changes that people creating web sites want more capability. They can scarcely keep up with the demands of users, who with their broadband and monster computers, expect more from their Internet experience than the static pages of the 90’s.
This session will show you how to bridge the gap between Drupal and multimedia. Drupal is cutting edge. Though support for multimedia out of the box is currently spotty, with a few contributed modules and some minor expertise, it can be used to create anything from a classy personal photo gallery to a hip music & video blog to a mega-corporate gaming and multimedia heaven.
