[EdLUG] D-Bus talk - 1st June (this Tuesday)

[Thomas Kluyver]

Hi all,

Sorry for the short notice. No-one else has offered a talk for the June meeting, so I'll do a talk about D-Bus.

D-Bus is a mechanism for Linux desktop applications to communicate with each other, and with parts of the system like desktop notifications and preventing the screensaver from cutting in. I'll illustrate some of the many things D-Bus is used for, give a high-level overview of how it works, and demonstrate some tools you can use to explore and inspect D-Bus interactions on your own system.

That will be this Tuesday (1st of June). As usual, we'll start the meeting at 7pm, and start the talk itself at 7.15. I believe Tai is still happy to host the Big Blue Button server we've used for previous meetings, so go to https://links.taikedz.net/?id=bbb-edlug at that time. (Tai, please let me know if you'd prefer not to run this server.)

Panda has promised us another security related talk for the July meeting. We've traditionally skipped meeting in August because of the festivals, which will hopefully be back in some form this year. There's nothing in the calendar for September or beyond - any suggestions of topics you could talk about, or you'd like to hear about from someone else, are very welcome.

See you on Tuesday,
Thomas
