Short talk on Canonical Messaging

I gave a short talk on Canonical Messaging to colleagues I work with. It went well and I felt good to be back in front of an audience after a gap. The contents of the talk where derived largely from the white paper that I wrote a long time ago. The white paper is available at the link mentioned in this post's title.
