Projects and prospects

The following projects build on top of OpenProducer and will serve as a foundation for different flavors targeting specific user types:

Drupal

  • Drupal Dojo - Building a D8 version the site will serve as an opportunity to build/fund elements of what we'd use for D8 OpenProducer. As we'd be building on top of/adding value to Panopoly, we should be able to collaborate with their team. 

Musicians

Radio/TV

As our role could be ongoing and venturing into content/event production and promotion, there should be many opportunities to provide hosted sites and custom services.

  • LeRoy Downs is a jazz broadcaster on numerous Los Angeles radio stations including KJazz 88.1 FM, KPFK 90.7 FM, KCRW 89.9 FM, KXLU 88.9 FM, 1410 AM KRML in Carmel and KRML 94.7 FM in the Monterey area. He has been the host of the Monterey Jazz Festival for nearly 15 years as well as The Jazz Cruise, The Playboy Jazz Cruise, KPFK’s Hero Awards Tribute to Billy Higgins, The Angel City Jazz Festival, Terranea Resorts Jazz Through the Generations, The Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz West Coast competitions, Producer of The World Stage 25th Anniversary Concert, Curator for Jazz for the Holidays series with Arts Brooksfield, Jazz Curator of the Steven James Buchanan Jazz Collection at the Mayme Clayton Jazz Library and Museum, producer of the made for television pilot “Hangin’ with the Jazzcats” and owner and journalist for the website TheJazzcat.net.
    • Status - We've committed to take on this project. Until there's a budget (possibly 12/15) to migrate to OpenProducer, we'll be cleaning up and organizing his wordpress site.
  • Sounds and Colors Radio - Sounds and Colors Radio will be a 24-hour internet radio station with more than just great jazz music. We plan on having intuitively programmed shows, live shows, spontaneous interviews with all of the artists that are creating this great sound, broadcasting live from remote locations and more! We wish to become your all access pass to places like backstage at your favorite jazz clubs, live concerts, live in-studio sessions to broadcasting shows from the living rooms and on the road with your favorite artists.
    • Status - We've already set the project up on DrupalKata and will be revising a previously drafted fundraising campaign to secure enough funds to begin the project. Ideally we'll secure enough funds to begin the process this month.
  • All Music Television - All Music Television is an independently-owned company based in Los Angeles that specializes in the development, production and distribution of music and sports related projects.
    • Status - We've already talked to both principals and there's interest for us to take on this project. Work will not officially begin until they free up enough funds to begin (most likely Dec or Jan).

The following are current clients hosted on Pantheon. I'm going to try to move them to the OpenProducer platform and include hosting in the cost.
