  • 10am Jitsi: 20 years of Real Time Communications - The Jitsi project was founded almost 20 years ago, under a different name and just for academic purposes. Almost 20 years later, the project could not be in a better shape! It has gone through a name change and several acquisitions by large corporations, while remaining current in the industry and innovating all along. This presentation will take a trip down memory lane and see where Jitsi came from, how it has managed to stick around for so long, and what the future holds.
  • 11am The Future of WebRTC - hat is new in WebRTC, what can we expect to see in the next couple of years? I'll describe some new APIs and speculate on how they might be used. I'll introduce whipi (an opensource implementation of the new WebRTC Ingest Protocol) and use it to illustrate how the WebRTC world is changing. I'll try to predict some new usages of WebRTC - niche high value apps. Finally I'll describe how to create a decentralized web (aka web 2.5) using the datachannel and existing browser technology. We've all spent a lot of time using centralized video conference services in the last months. We have got a huge amount done at home whilst behind NAT on domestic ISP connections. This has all been possible due to webRTC's design. This talk tries to look beyond that usecase to new less business orientated realtime media and data apps that are enabled by new(ish) APIs. For economic,privacy and ecological reasons I'll emphasize apps that move computing to the edge. It will cover Baby monitors, robots, yoga classes and P2P web services and other surprising stuff…
