PSYC
PSYC? Huh?
Protocol for SYnchronous Conferencing.
PSYC is a protocol for a messaging infrastructure for text-based and binary data conferencing. It has learned from protocols such as IRC and XMPP and found an approach that should indeed scale globally, by generalizing the multicast concept beyond chatrooms to presence awareness, news- and friendcasting and leers at decentralized privacy-driven social networking (using trust metrics), telephony and audio/video conferencing. Chatrooms are programmable, which enables for applications like event notification.
Congress?
Some folks are meeting at the congress to talk and work on the current state of PSYC.
