Inside Google Wave

ClearPoint held one of its regular tech-drop get-togethers last night covering Google Wave.

The Cloudbreak team gave a good walk-through of the product  and I gave a quick overview of some of the technology inside Google Wave and it’s APIs.

Here is my slide deck:

    interesting post on interesting tech. looking forward to seeing uptake and usage when it starts getting greater adoption. I have seen an open source wave server with a limited feature set is in progress, but do you know how far away federation is?

    @joeh Well the protocol ( http://www.waveprotocol.org/draft-protocol-specs/draft-protocol-spec ) is still in draft so I’m not sure how long it will be before you see products implementing federation.

    Google has released the Google Wave Federation Prototype server ( http://code.google.com/p/wave-protocol/wiki/Installation ) to test out the spec. It is open source (and may actually be the one server you were referring too).
