Tomboy Web Sync Explained

This was a talk that I gave during the foss.my 2009 conference. It covers a bit of background on Tomboy before focusing on the web based sync that shipped with Tomboy 1.0 and the accompanyin sync server implementation Snowy.
I managed to do a demo of 2 Tomboy notes instances (on running in a VM) syncing to a common Snowy instance.
The crowd was a bit thin as the other track had Brian Aker giving a talk on Gearman – but the talk sparked interest and I had a couple engaging hallway converstations on the subject.
On the whole I enjoyed myself at foss.my, meeting and chatting with people. The grassroots, community driven aspect of the conference always ensures that there is lot more signal then noise. I look forward to foss.my 2010.
