Hi all, Just putting down some discussion notes we had on talky.io/debian_bangalore channel. A WebRTC meet. Meeting was joined by 1. Vasudev Kamath 2. Ramakrishnan Muthukrishnan 3. Jonas Smedegaard 4. Siri Reiter This was informal meeting and we discussed about following things 1. Jonas and Siri explained about Debian Design and its goal 2. We discussed about Redpill in relation with Debian Design 3. Ram talked about peer to peer and federated technologies starting with magic-wormhole used for secure file transfer and explained about underlying technologies. Ram also answered on why use a new protocol over existing (magic-wormhole uses PAKE) 4. Jonas told about git-annex which he first wanted to use as part of Redpill for file transfers but now it might not be possible as git-annex may not be usable on low powered arm machines (armel) due to Haskell. 5. Ram brought up upspin.io which can be used for similar purpose (file transfers) and described some design details. 6. Jonas asked if its possible to use version control in upspin. Ram told though currently not possible the design supports content addressable file system and hence should not be too difficult to build something similar to git on top of upspin. 7. I discussed about biboumi and how it solves the bridging problem between IRC and XMPP transparently. 8. Jonas stressed on using our own service for future meetings and told about Janus as possible candidate for this. 9. Jonas also discussed about his dream of bridging various communication models like IRC, WebRTC SIP etc to allow new comers to easily interact with community, at the same time allowing old people be still comfortable with their communication mode (IRC). 10. We wrapped up the discussion with plan of having similar biweekly meetup which I've taken up responsibility of organizing. The meeting will happen at https://talky.io/debian_bangalore untill we setup our own things to do such meetings and record our discussions. @Jonas @Ram if I missed some points above please add them (as I got disconnected couple of times from the chat). Cheers, Vasudev
