Marshmallow by Larry Gadea (trivex@gmail.com, twitter.com/lg)

An OpenSource Campfire(TM, i think?) server.

You might have heard of Campfire by 37signals. This is an implementation of their backend in C. This server is written using libevent and all that goodness. Benchmarked at 10000req/s on a macbook -- serving beautiful static content!

Also, yes, I realize that a large part of this project is client-side. I'll get .. something .. done for that. Meanwhile, you're stuck with templates swiped from 37signals. I'm trying to keep the swiping to a minimum tho, just so that Propane can parse it.

You get a room listing of rooms you can join but can only talk to yourself in.

• Make sure you have the libevent libs installed from http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/
• To build, use: make
• To run, use: sudo ./marshmallow. Sudo is needed to bind on port 80
• To prepare, add 127.0.0.1 marshmallow.campfirenow.com to your /etc/hosts file
• To use, install and open Propane and add marshmallow.campfirenow.com to it

Please send your cease and desist to trivex@gmail.com. Otherwise, I'd love to hear comments/suggestions too!

Oh and feel free to steal my code.
