Program for running automated presentation displays at LAN parties.

SAGAPresenter2 was a presentation software that was used at StreetGeek between 2009 and 2010.

The original version of the software was called "SAGAPresenter". This had a monolithic design around a GTK# application.

SAGAPresenter2 improved on this by seperating the view control engine into a seperate daemon over DBus (presenterd), which could then have various clients attached to it (like GTKClient and SP2WebViewer).

While this is a C# application, it will probably not work on Windows.

It depends on DBus bindings for C#, and uses DBus for internal communications heavily.

• presenterd: View control engine. This communicates updates to all clients, sends out events. It is the backend of the system. It runs as a DBus service.
• libpresenterd: Client library which takes care of some re-written code in C# clients. Also provides some basic ASP.NET data objects.
• presenter-test: Text-mode client which dumps out events sent by presenterd for debugging.
• GTKClient: Main client application. Shows a 1024x768 window with the current display. This is distributed out to clients over VNC and xrdp.
• SP2WebAdmin: ASP.NET web application for managing presenterd.
• SP2WebViewer: ASP.NET web application which prints a list of upcoming events.
• SP2WebServer: I believe this was a start on a different way to run the web stuff which was never finished. I can't remember, this may be nuked in future.
• pygclient: Attempt at writing a pygame client. It failed miserably.
• packaging: Packaging MonoDevelop meta-project.
• scripts: Common scripts used by the MonoDevelop project. All AssemblyInfo.cs files are generated dynamically, for example, from hg commits.

• Get building with current Mono, etc.
• Change create_assembly_info.sh to use git.
• Port CGServer (the PETSCII/C64 display mode) from SAGAPresenter1 to a daemon in SAGAPresenter2.
• Make GTKClient work with non-1024x768 displays.
• Remove unused experimental codes, or replace them with something that works.
• Package it.
