Kevin Krammer, Live tutorial, - Writing an Akonadi resource in (less than ) 30 minutes Even the best PIM infrastructure is quite useless without any data. It becomes viable once it has access to the usual data sources, e.g. vcard files, maildir directories, etc. It becomes exciting when in gains access to source previously not or not easily available to the user. Various PIM frameworks try to address this through some form of extension mechanism, e.g. plugins. Akonadi addresses it through the use of agents, autonomous helper processes, called Akonadi resources. Writing such a resource can be considerably easier than writing a plugin, mainly because a fault in a resource under development won't take down the whole system, can be debugged without the symbol overhead of other backend implementations. The complexity of dealing with the actual data source is basically the determining factor of the overall complexity of the resources. In fact, creating one for a simple to access and/or limited source is dead easy. This will be demonstrated live and uncensored! 2009-07-05 12:00-12:30Published 8 months ago

Will Stephenson, Akonadi
Will Stephenson, Akonadi Akonadi enables the efficient implementation of interfaces to users' most important data. This talk presents the benefits of using Akonadi for your project. Akonadi is a service for the storage of personal information: address books, reminders, messages and more. Its modern design allows an integrated experience when storing and accessing user data. A clean, lean design, founded in over 12 years of experience in FLOSS PIM software, followed by three years of development have produced a mature product with a broad range of interfaces and supporting tools. Akonadi is designed to meet peoples' needs in managing the data that defines them, and to extend to accommodate future requirements by being data type agnostic at its core. Its modular design around a minimal storage core allows for extensibility, scalability and customisation to specific deployments. A wide variety of resources make the core capable of storing and accessing many standard PIM data types and services. Akonadi is implemented using standard technologies for portability. Its federated components ensure robustness, and communicate using open protocols allowing Akonadi to be easily extended. It is supported by comprehensive test suites, support tools and documentation. 2009-07-05 11:30-12:00Published 8 months ago
