Location information in XML files #12

Open jk opened 15 years ago

Hi,

I'm writing a small iPhone app right now which parses the xml export files which is generated by pentabarf. I'm going to use it for the upcoming 26c3, perhaps it will be on the AppStore. IMO it would be nice, if a new user can determine his location and gets the a list of events nearby - ok that's not to useful, since there aren't any conferences at the same time, but who knows? Perhaps other developers got better ideas to use that data.

So: it shouldn't be to hard to set a longitude and latitude somewhere so that the generated xml will contain this useful information, is it?

I think making this a setting of the room might be even more useful, especially for conferences with a lot of spread out lecture locations. So every event would get a longitude/latitude value
