Also a small reminder that our wiki is still not mobile device friendly

antranigv, oh did not notice your question. that's what i was saying, recently i discovered three xeps for location sharing.
-
inky
did not know which one to use.
-
edhelas
https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0080.html seems pretty fine to me no ?
-
flow
inky, I know we have some XEPs that (at the first glance) duplicate functionality, but I wasn't aware that this is true for geo location sharing. IIRC there is (only) xep80, which is in widespread use
-
flow
"widespread"
-
antranigv
XEP80 seems interesting
-
antranigv
Is it implemented anywhere?
-
inky
nice, we have something of widespread use.
-
inky
yes, very interesting question.
-
antranigv
I like that XEP80 has "room number", this would be very usefull in classes and conferences.
-
inky
let me read it again. i think, btw, none of those xeps was supporting continuous update of location, as i implemented in meridian23 on n900.
-
inky
may be "Attaching location information to presence" is that? presence is sent periodically, right? but in which periods?
-
Andrzej
presence is sent by the client when it changes, but I would suggest to use XEP80 as you can publish location when you detect location change which is big enough to be published
-
Ge0rG
You could send a presence update each second. Server operators will hate you!
-
inky
oh nice, thank you
-
flow
inky, nowadays you don't want to shove stuff into presence, you would want to use PEP for that
-
Ge0rG
In amateur radio there is SmartBeaconing™ which adapts the reporting rate to your movement speed
-
inky
omg, smart.
-
Ge0rG
Yeah, PEP is much more efficient, and it's publish subscribe so only interested clients will get the updates
-
flow
interested *and* authorized clients, hopefully
-
Ge0rG
Presence goes to all your contacts and rooms
-
flow
cause I'm interested in all your locations!
-
Ge0rG
yeah, you can define a white list
-

> In amateur radio there is SmartBeaconing™ which adapts the reporting rate to your movement speed So updating all x meters?
-
mdosch
Would be smart I guess.
-
inky
ok i need to rethink it all.
-
Ge0rG
mdosch: it's more complicated than that
-
mdosch
For the radio probably but for inkys thing that would be good enough I guess.
-
inky
i'll talk here about it when i start to work on the app again. this is something i am interested in. currently because i don't use n900 i share location via selfhosted hauk.
-
inky
but it takes a lot of resources, needs memcached, and uses php, and i don't like those on my server.
-
mdosch
inky: I don't know your previous thing but I would like to choose 'Send my location to this contact for x min/h/d' so you don't accidantely send your location forever.
-
inky
yes, i was doing something like that, the timeout is a good idea. before i was just doing send, stop sending.

Missed the meeting sorry
-
antranigv
There was a meeting?
-
antranigv
Like a conf call?
-
Zash
We don't do that here.
-
MattJ
No, we typically do text chat here
-
antranigv
We should do that *hides*
-
MattJ
It has been done, or did Council actually fail at scheduling their call in the end? :)
-
Zash
Not that I know of
-
Ge0rG
Yes, we failed.

Zash
I still don't think my reply to that thread go through
