Location-aware applications with GeoClue

Henri Bergius

GeoClue is a modular geoinformation service which aims to simplify the
creation of location-aware applications. It has been designed with desktop and mobile use in mind, and works over D-Bus.

The presentation sheds light on what location awareness is all about. The design and motivation behind GeoClue will be explained and some hands on examples of using them in applications given. You'll also find out how GeoClue fits into different platforms (maemo, OpenMoko,
OLPC, GNOME desktop).
