Pebble Studio London is now developing a Drupal site after some research into various options. The main purpose of PSL is to produce Human Rights TV. This project is set in open source tools and has led the way into converting the studio across to a Linux platform using Kdenlive as the editing tool of choice. 2008 promises to be a big year for both PSL and HRTV and there is a desire for us to become more a part of the community and support and promote development.
Our main tec guy is Mike Smith, all things Linux, who is currently the computer officer at Christ Church College Oxford and you can see his handiwork in the form of their site www.chch.ox.ac.uk . This site runs everything from ordering sausages for the canteen to the whole academic thing. In Mike's opinion, Drupal is the way forward for us on the studio site. The HRTV project has been running for a pilot year and is staffed entirely by volunteers working for the benefit of those who have suffered human rights abuse. Our business model is wholly non-profit making. I hope this introduction is the start of a good relationship with the Drupal community. In the meantime any suggestion about a good tool to create a studio production log on site would be welcome :-) and best wishes to you all in 2008. Jack Adams.
