Implement JEP-0080 (a.k.a. User Geolocation)

[jo.vermeulen@…]

It would be nice to have support for JEP-0080.

[DoomHammer]

Depends on  http://trac.gajim.org/ticket/3053

[DoomHammer]

User Mood, User Tune and User Activity are available for testing in "pep" branch ( svn://svn.gajim.org/gajim/branches/pep). Once there are stable they will go upstream.

[asterix]

pep is now included in trunk (advanced option use_pep has to be set to True)

the problem for this ticket is to know where to take info to publish from.

[erlehmann]

I'd propose two sources:

• gpsd
• as XEP-0080 allows for descriptive terms, a user interface with configurable drop-down messages (much like status message)

Maybe this could be appended to the status window ?

Additional Info: Akismet say my submission is Spam when I include the gpsd URL. Why does it do that ? Could you please update your filter ?

[asterix]

askimet is an external filter. Create an account on trac and log in to solve the issue.

Supporting XEP-0080 would be pretty sweet - one vote from me

How could such raw GPS data be presented in a user friendly manner? I have some ideas.

* Embed something like Marble the widget * gnome-open or similar using a URI standard for position if there is such a thing * Start a specific program such as Marble the program and initiate it * Use a web service for maps and embed * Open a map website * Display the raw data as plain text * Guess the name of the area from the position and display as text

Not sure what I think myself.

That was supposed to render as a list.

* Embed something like Marble the widget

* gnome-open or similar using a URI standard for position if there is such a thing

* Start a specific program such as Marble the program and initiate it

* Use a web service for maps and embed

* Open a map website

Maybe should you consider using libchamplain and geoclue to deal with maps ?

The library has been used for Empathy, so it should be usable for Gajim I think.

Just my two cents...

[johnny]

i was going to propose the same thing as kalon33. This is amazing stuff. and we can piggyback on what they do as well

And I agree to this.

GeoLoc? patch, initial, PEP read only.

[dave@…]

Very basic, rough-around-the-edges, patch for display or contacts' XEP-0080 data in the roster and tooltip.

Does NOT use geoclue etc to guess user's location, and probably has bugs.

Hey,

I am sorry, but we cannot integrate your patch in the current form. As you may have noticed you had to duplicate a lot of code and had to deal with unneeded complexity.

It is, because our pep-handling is not that well designed. We first have to make it easier to add another pep functionality and then we can test our new design by addind GeoLoc?.

Would be great to hear your opinion on that.

Thanks, steve
