ScaniVerse - A New Horizon in Unified Scanning for Linux Systems

Explore a groundbreaking talk from Ubuntu Summit 2023 that introduces ScaniVerse, a revolutionary project aimed at unifying scanning across Linux systems. Delve into the speaker's journey of extending PAPPL, an open-source printing system, to incorporate scanning capabilities by transforming non-ESCL scanners into ESCL servers. Learn about the innovative MetaScan system, a smart data cataloguing module for scanned images. Gain insights into the process of working with and extending open-source systems, the development of MetaScan, and the potential convergence of scanning and printing technologies. Discover how open-source networking can drive innovation and create unified solutions in device interaction. Understand the project's two-pronged approach: extending PAPPL to support the eSCL protocol and developing MetaScan for intelligent scanning and archiving. Find out how to contribute to this exciting project through GitHub repositories or by contacting the speaker directly.
