Its time for some patiala peg!

Pulkit Swarup from Naukri Tech steps in to talk about XMPP - An overview of the protocol. He talks about the current usage of XMPP by various messaging clients and proposals for usage by participating teams for developing new clients.
A nice comparison between OpenFire Vs Jabbered and eJabbered by him shows that when OpenFire implements XMPP to over 96% this is down at 30-40% in case of Jabbered and eJabber.

Next we have Kasa Shirish to compare Android SDK with iPhone SDK. Advatages of using an android SDK over an iPhone SDK is the freedom of use and the open source nature of android. Also the freedom of connectivity with external devices like USB drive in case of android make it a better choice. A nice demo of the Android SDK at least makes me a fan of android! :) Plus its OPEN SOURCE!
That was a good presentation... though stretching a little on time.. but worth each minute stretched...


The next presentation up would talk about MogileFS.. the distributed FS. Taken up by Aditya Seth and Sameer Garg. They talk about the need and use of a distributed file system
