Telepathy

Speaker: Robert McQueen

Thursday 1st November, 20:00
Stafford Crane Room, Keble College

Robert McQueen of Collabora will extol the virtues of Telepathy, the instant messaging framework used on the Nokia N800, the One Laptop Per Child project, and on a Unix desktop near you. He'll introduce D-Bus (the IPC system underlying Telepathy), discuss novel uses of IM (such as collaborative editing and podcast recording) that Telepathy makes feasible, and will demonstrate how to do useful IM-related things with surprisingly few lines of Python.

There will be someone at the Keble Porters' Lodge to show you to the talk; this may involve a short wait outside if the porters don't let us keep the door open.

(NB. This talk was originally in Week 3, but has had to be been moved.)
