Gemini is a new internet protocol which:

• Is heavier than 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.
