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.
