Hi,

AFAIK, Read is currently the only OLPC activity using stream tubes but
the tube code is not OLPC specific at all; it just use the Telepathy
API.
You can find some doc about tubes in the Telepathy specification [1].
The most examplary codes are probably in telepathy-python/examples/.
You'll find some scripts demoing stream and D-Bus tubes.
