Good tech session, proper nuts + bolts stuff, loved the demo fails ;) Might have another go at php-gtk stuff after this!
PHP on the D-BUS
Derick Rethans (Feb 26, 2010 at 15:30)
Talk at PHP UK Conference 2010 (English - UK)
The D-BUS Inter Process Communication mechanism is the basis for many system-related functionality on Linux-based systems. Both GNOME, KDE, as well as the Open Moko Linux computing platform use it extensively for everything related to talking to services and hardware. Skype, as well as other applications, provide D-BUS APIs as well.
In this presentation I will be presenting a PHP/D-BUS integration to allow PHP to talk to D-BUS aware applications. I will demonstrate controlling Skype from PHP, as well as the implementation of PHP-GTK based applications on the OpenMoko to talk to, and use the different hardware services it offers, such as GSM and GPS.

Very good talk, especially liked the technical details about the dbus specifications, and the good hands-on examples. Very useful!

Exactly what I wanted. Proper technical session, live demos, and other cool stuff. May well have to go check this out of svn and start playing.
