BarCampTexas, meet Bonsoir.
Yesterday I decided to drive to Austin from San Antonio on a whim to come to the night-before-event-with-free-beer for BarCampTexas, while cool, I didn't quite plan ahead for staying anywhere, so...I just lurked in a coffee shop all night and hacked out an entire application in around 6 hours.Thusly, I am pleased to introduce "Bonsoir." Bonsoir takes advantage of Cocoa Distributed Objects, Bonjour, and the Address Book API for allowing the quick and easy sharing of vCards on a local network. The basic idea was that everybody could grab Bonsoir here at BarCampTexas, select their vCards, and we could all add each other (into Address Book) to help keep in touch for the next BarCamp, etc. I've released the source to Bonsoir 1.0 under my special "BarCamp License". It's not the cleanest code in the world, there's a gratuitous amount of swearing in the comments, and the application doesn't even have an icon. Regardless, here it is, as a universal binary: Bonsoir 1.0. Enjoy!
For the record, I also gave a terrible presentation on Cocoa, boooo, hisss.

Cool app! Have been looking for ages for something like this! Would be wonderful to be able to share the whole addressbook or at least more than one vcards at the same time. Syncing of two addressbooks over the network would be cool as well.
