Adium: Multi-protocol Chat for the Mac

Google Tech Talks
May 16, 2008

ABSTRACT

Adium is now a widely-known multi-protocol chat program for the Mac, but this was not always so. Beginning as a single developer's pet project to learn Cocoa, Adium has evolved considerably through its 6 year history. This talk will discuss the best features of Adium, the major milestones in Adium's development, and where it looks to be going.

Speaker: Matt Handley
Matt Handley is a PhD candidate at the University of Illinois - Chicago studying peer-to-peer massively-multiplayer online games. He was part of the SoC 2007, and implemented a brand-new AppleScript dictionary into Adium. This year, he is co-mentoring a project on unit testing with Peter Hosey. He can be reached at applmak@gmail.com.
