I'll speak about a new messaging protocol called AMQP, and the iMatix projects that implement this protocol. AMQP makes it possible to make cheap, fast distributed applications, for pubsub, cloud computing, telecoms, etc.. I'll explain our OpenAMQ implementation of AMQP, and also our web-based RESTful messaging project, Zyre, which makes AMQP work over plain HTTP. This talk is aimed at FOSS developers with interest in new protocols. AMQP is a good example of how large businesses are promoting and investing in FOSS today.
