Bringing geolocation into GNOME

This talk will be about some of the efforts to bring geolocation into Gnome.

In particular, it'll focus on the Gtk/Clutter widget to display maps: http://blog.pierlux.com/projects/libchamplain/ and geoclue.

It'll go on with examples of where they are already used in Gnome apps (such as the EOG plugin and Empathy (in a feature to be released soon)).
