  1. Version 2.8.0 of Geoclue, the freedesktop.org location service was just released! The release highlights are #beacondb support and a separate GeoIP source with new backends. Coming to a #linux computer near you.

  2. ... and speaking of #geolocation, a new release of Geoclue, the Dbus location service for Linux is about to be made. My finger is itching to press the merge button and this can only be prevented if you (yes, You) test the code from git and report bugs!

  3. Yet another, mostly bugfix release of OLS, my local location server. The main attraction is probably native support for m8b-files from wigle.net. Get while it's hot (or not)!

  4. Do you have a recommendation for a #linux tool to navigate a heavy #truck (no "normal" car!) via #gps offline?
    I tried #pureMaps but miss the adjustment for car size parameters. GPS can be provided via #geoclue or #gpsd sufficiently.

    I just need map display and route planning - ideally an option which is aware of obstacles like low bridges and weight limits on particular roads and show alerts.

    In case it matters: I will be on german roads.

  5. How about a version of #gnomeClocks without the #geoclue?

    Someone wants a #timer and #stopwatch but having #locationServices built into gnome-clocks is a bit… disappointing.

    This is us being kind.
