Not that I wouldn’t put my full faith and trust in these guys.. but them simply mentioning that data privacy/security is a “pre-requisite” doesn’t exactly cure all my suspicions.

Right now, when I use my ekit Travel Journal SIM, my BrightKite account is updated with my location automatically at the level of detail I choose, via Fire Eagle.

Well this is a fine moment.
I spend 2 months working on a system like this using existing metadata, APIs and syndication methods, and now there is yet another standard/industry group/consortium/body to make my effort seem inconsequential/incompatible.

For those curious. I built a mechanism thats very simple and anything able to output a syndication format in UTF-8 can use it with just plain text, no extra markup needed if you don’t want it/cant use it. I dont update the location often but it works… seemed a tad pointless to update my location on the way too/from work as i walk 500 meters every day.

@ggoodale Fire Eagle does exactly what OSLO is described as doing. It acts as an location broker, allowing end users to choose how they share location information between applications.

Right now, when I use my ekit Travel Journal SIM, my BrightKite account is updated with my location automatically at the level of detail I choose, via Fire Eagle.

What a lame name. Calling a standard the same thing as a capital of a country is bound to make trouble for Google-searches.

The many odd abbreviations in the tech world never stop to surprise me…

If services can automatically query the location of a user (although the user may have opted-in to share at a certain point time), then, from my viewpoint, this is already way more (potential) data disclosure as is really needed for the service to work. If that ability to opt-in is all what OSLO offers in terms of privacy awareness to its users (which is similar to what Google Latitude and Fireeagle offer) I wouldnt go so far and call OSLO privacy-aware.

@colin: OSLO appears to be less about “another location system” and more about providing standard ways for startups to access existing services’ location data, thereby reducing (hopefully) the total number of location systems that get built. Yes, you could build strictly to Fire Eagle and exclude all those Google Latitude users out there (or vice versa), but why exclude one group in favor of the other?

Well, it would save them the job of twittering about it.

This is nothing but more data pollution that will lead to a Orwellian 1984 style police state. Just because computers can produce all this data for consumption doesn’t mean that they should. Do you really want all your friends to know when you take a dump?

OSLO seems to be duplicating the functionality Fireeagle already provides. I’m all for open standards, but shouldn’t this be about standardizing the way location is communicated between applications? I can chose to trust fireeagle. And, if there is an open communication standard, other applications can talk to my location broker to find out where I am. I would control which applications get access to my information, and how much. Am I missing something here or is OSLO “re-building another location system, which is a commodity anyway”?
