Tech Talks @ Kinvolk: IPC on Linux - DBus & bus1 w/ Tom Gundersen and David Herrmann

Tom Gundersen and David Herrmann, software engineers at Red Hat, stopped by the Linux Technologies Berlin Meetup on May 17th to talk about DBus & bus1.

In this talk, David and Tom gave an overview of the challenges faced and the problems solved by IPC in general, and by DBus and bus1 in particular. They explored the problems DBus is attempting to solve, how it is used in practice, the shortcoming it has and how they imagine it evolving in the future.

Speaker: Tom Gundersen
Tom is a Software Engineer at Red Hat where he works on the plumbing layer. He started the networkd project within systemd, and works on device management, network configuration and more recently IPC, both in userspace and the kernel.

Speaker: David Herrmann
David is a Software Engineer at Red Hat where he works on the linux kernel and surrounding userland. In the past he has worked on the HID, Bluetooth, and DRM subsystems, as well as on replacing the ancient VT layer of the kernel.
