It's a pleasure to communicate you that LibreGeoSocial 1.1 is available in the Android Market. I appreciate the efforts made by the development team to get this milestone, thank you very much to all developers team. Remember, LibreGeoSocial is a new FLOSS (Free, Open Source) mobile social network with a Mobile Augmented Reality interface

'Gymkhana Móvil' es un proyecto de software libre que ha desarrollado Jorge Fernández y que permite nuevos juegos basados en la localización y redes sociales. Jorge ha basado su proyecto en LibreGeoSocial, un middleware que permite crear aplicaciones de redes-sociales y localización en Android.

Original message written by Roberto Calvo:

"It's a pleasure to communicate you that LibreGeoSocial 1.0 is available in the Android Market. I appreciate the efforts made by the development team to get this milestone, thank you very much to: Raúl Román, José Antonio Santos, José Gato and Juan Francisco Gato. Also thanks to non-development team as Pedro de las Heras, sysadmin group (for the machine administration), LibreSoft Group (for the test of the application), students who have used this proyect for his PFC's and all partners of the Avanza project.

LibreGeoSocial is a new FLOSS (Free, Open Source) mobile social network with a Mobile Augmented Reality interface. The nodes of the social network are geolocated and positioned at different altitudes. LibreGeoSocial nodes can be shown through a traditional list based view or through a magic lens mobile augmented reality UI that not only allows the user to see tags associated with objects of the reality perceived through the camera, but also to add tags to objects from the mobile, labeling objects at different altitudes. The system works both outdoors and indoors, with location provided by BIDI. The multimedia contents can be added through the through a friendly API providing an abstraction of layers/channels that allow to integrate geolocated information in
LibreGeoSocial.

Main Features:

• Indoors/Outdoors Mobile Augented Reality interface
• Adding tags from the mobile associated to a location with
  latitude, longitude and altitude
• Allow to accurately label objects at different altitudes from
  the Mobile
• Contestualizing information (semantic-syntatic search)
• Alarms system to nearby places or friends
• Dynamic Generation of groups using the location
• Support for 3rd party Layers/Overlays/Channels
• Integration with social networks as Facebook or Twitter
• Export de information, photos, audios, ... to Gmail, Picassa,
  Twitter ...
• Routes Manager (soon!)

Very interesting in-depth analysis from Morgan Stanley about the future ahead in Mobile Internet.

"We decided to create The Mobile Internet Report largely in PowerPoint and publish it on the web, expecting that bits and pieces of it will be cut / pasted / redistributed and debated / dismissed / lauded. Our goal is to get our thoughts and data into the conversation about what may be the biggest technology trend ever, one that may help make us all more informed in ways that are unique to the web circa 2009, and beyond."

We've published a first release of our FLOSS (Free/Libre/Open Source) implementation of the HDP/MCAP bluetooth profiles. You'll need a Linux kernel with ERTM and Streaming modes enabled in L2CAP.

The code has been tested against a Nonin Onyx II Pulse oximeter, Model 9560 (HDP enabled). Although it should be considered as a prototype implementation, we have decided to upload the code due to the high interest perceived in the community.
