Edmonton Public Library is building a digital local music project to celebrate local music and its history. Based on community consultation, we know that we want to share music online and crowdsource a detailed history of Edmonton's local music scenes. First, we need to build the site and we're looking for some insight from the tech community to make sure we're off to a good start.
September 17th we're partnering with Yellow Pencil to host a hackathon at Startup Edmonton. We want to build the project in Drupal 7 and we are hoping to run the music hosting through SoundCloud using their API. We're inviting web developers, Drupal developers, SoundCloud developers and anyone else who wants to participate to help us answer these three main questions:
• What does the basic architecture of this site look like?
• Can the SoundCloud API support this project? In what specific ways?
• What is missing from Drupal 7 that we need to build?
What's in it for you? Food, camaraderie, and the pleasures of problem-solving, building something new and helping out your local library. Check out our tumblr for more information about the project.
Catering numbers will be based on the number of RSVPs, so be sure to sign up if you want to be fed.
