Video Tube v1.81 is an XOOPS module providing the ability to search, embed and manage videos on your site. Search, preview and auto-fill submission offered for YouTube, DailyMotion, MetaCafe and blip.tv plus a manual submission form for all other video services that offer video embedding. This is a beta release intended to address some of the feature requests we have received. Some of the new features include full language support, html class attribute assignments and module style css, elimination of all hard-coded text moving everything to language files, addition of subcategories, complete rewrite of the category management admin interface, optional category selection display utilizing fieldset form with breadcrumb header, automatic comment reply title assignment using the video title, and changing several of the video table fields to text from varchar eliminating length restriction problems.

Dave Porter in his 2009 Web Predictions mentions XOOPS as one of the three Open Source projects where web developers are moving to for running their Web sites: Quote: The open source community thrived in 2008 and AXcess News predicts that in 2009 the web will go through an "open source revolution" of sorts. We credit much of that to Google's browser and how mobile providers have been going down on one knee to adapt it. Mobile computing is one area where open source has attracted more developers, probably due to the popularity of mobile web activity. Mobile internet access is a big part of 2009's growth market, though more of the web development community is shifting to the popular content management systems offered by Drupal , Joomla and Xoops for running websites. It's always nice to start a New Year with a news that journalists see XOOPS as one of the top CMS Open Source projects for 2009

XOOPS China won the main award for excellence in creative application. The award will be accepted by Taiwen Jiang , the XOOPS Lead Developer and his team at the 2008 Open Source Software Development Summit , China. It is the latest recognition for the XOOPS China community website and project development. The Summit will take place at the Xiyuan Hotel in Beijing, on Jan 13, 2009 . Its steering committee is composed of China’s Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), National High Tech R&D Program (863 Program) and China Software Industry Association (CSIA). The conference and the OSSContest is organized by Co-Create Software League of CSIA and Chinese Association of Software Parks (CASP)of China Association for Science and Technology Industrial Parks (ChinaASTIP). Zhanyuan Du, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology, Chris Lin, SUN’s president for Great China, and Zhaozhu Liang, R&D Chief Officer of Intel Asia Pacific R&D, among others, will be the keynote speakers at the conference. As the Chinese government plans to spend several billion of RMB on “core electronic components, high-end interchangeable chip, and fundamental software products� in 2009, open source software projects face new opportunities in China. XOOPS China is delighted to be recognized in the contest and is committed to continued excellence and support for XOOPS and Open Source.

Well some of you may already do this with your development in creating a time capsule. This is one for XOOPS that will be sealed at the 1st of march. The dimension of the cylinder is as so 360mm (h) x 145mm (d) It is water proof and will be placed in a remote location away from any nuclear targets and is good for a millennium as the plastics in the container. Should you wish as a member of our community to contribute, I would suggest you mail me a flash disk, or mail me a sealed letter. Your contribution will not be logged nor will the flash discs be recorded, it will be simply added to the chamber of all goodies for the XOOPS time capsule. I think we should do one of these each year around different parts of the world, who know we could exist elsewhere beyond our reaches as foresight see it. Types of items accepted: * any xoops related digital media (flash disc). * letter in envelope * NO HDDS
