Organizational Page: BTSync Category: Coding Title: Create a scalable, resilient data sharing network using BTSync Proposed by: Dave Vieglais Participants: Summary: BitTorrent Sync is a freely available through closed solution for synchronizing file systems through the efficient BitTorrent protocol. The goal of this session is to design and prototype a simple data repository catalog service that allows users to register a read-only key to a shared folder that contains data packages to be shared with colleagues. The catalog processes the available metadata and provides a simple search service for users to discover and subscribe to shared repository folders. Technologies: BitTorrent Sync, Java, SOLR, Servlets
