Hermes: They get the word out, you hear it your way. hermes.opensuse.org
Hermes is described as a "personal message dispatcher." (What?) In short, Hermes' administrators define 'resources' (sources of information that update Hermes when something noteworthy happens), and 'agents' (interfaces to communication systems: web pages, RSS feeds, emails, Jabber IM, Twitter). You, the end user, create 'preferences': what resources do I want to follow, and which agent should notify me? In the background, Hermes uses 'relays' (scalable scheduled processes) to find matches between your 'preferences' and incoming messages from 'resources', then route them to the appropriate 'agent'.
Still confused? Here are some examples:
- I want to be emailed daily with the status of my projects from openSUSE Build Service.
- I want an RSS feed of features I'm following in openFATE.
- I want to follow a public twitter feed of all OBS activity ( @OBSHermes )
Hermes is an up-and-coming project, aimed at making it easy to keep up to date by any means you prefer. As more projects are added as resources, I expect it to become the standard for project status communication.
