====== Quick Intro: Project Gemini ======

Gemini is a new internet protocol which:

  * Is heavier than [[wp>Gopher_(protocol)|Gopher]]
  * Is lighter than the web
  * Will not replace either
  * Strives for maximum power to weight ratio
  * Takes user privacy very seriously

Put simply, it's a fascinating and simple text protocol designed to be super lightweight and used for information retrieval.  Between privacy advocates and low power IoT devices, I think it has a bright future.

Join me as I demo some of the software, explain how it all works and show you how to set up your own server.
