Minerva at FOSDEM

Posted by Steev

Thanks to everyone that turned out for my talk in Brussels last week. (Hey - the law of averages says there must be at least one of you - right?)

Well, for those that couldn't hear me explain some more of the technical details, there's a video of my presentation online at:

VLC recommended as a media player for this, although others should world.

Thanks for the link, Steev--it's a great intro to Minerva. (For those who don't know, that's Steev's home-automation system, which lets you use a variety of interfaces--mobile phone or web browser, for example--to control devices around the house. Or, as Steev puts it here, turns your home into "a peripheral to your computer".)

One thing, Seev--did you see any other interesting presentations or systems at FOSDEM2008? It would be nice to get an idea of what's being developed out there.
