<div style="float: left;">> </div><blockquote><div style="position:
relative;"><div><br /></div><div>Seeing Rafael turn on the social group
ELECTRICRACE so OVMS users around the world could see him gives me an
idea.</div><div><br /></div><div>How about an OVMS Jabberwocky day? For
one day, or one hour of that day, OVMS users around the world join the
same group. Due to the privacy issues, I don't expect anywhere near 100%
take-up, but It would be an interesting way to visualise the global
reach of OVMS and perhaps connect with other users near
you.</div><div><br /></div><div>I suggest the OVMS social group name
JABBERWOCKY and date Thursday 14th June 2012, @2pm UTC (GMT), or
thereabouts. I've picked day-time for Europe and USA, to reduce privacy
concerns for those areas.</div><div><br /></div><div>Here's the notice,
and how to participate:</div><div><br /></div><blockquote style="margin:
0pt 0pt 0pt 40px; border: medium none; padding: 0px;"
class="webkit-indent-blockquote"><div><u><b>OVMS Jabberwocky Day - 14th
June 2012, @2pm UTC (GMT)</b></u></div><div><br /></div><div>To
celebrate the global take-up of OVMS, users willing to give up their
privacy for an hour or so, should all join the same social group so we
can see the location and vehicleids of each other's cars. We can see
where we are around the world.</div><div><br /></div><div>Here are the
details:</div><div><br /></div><div><ol
class="MailOutline"><li>Participation is entirely optional. By
participating, you will be allowing anyone and everyone to see the
location of your car, it's speed, SOC and vehicle ID.<br /><br
/></li><li>If you choose to participate, you can participate for 1 day,
1 hour, or for however long you want. The control is entirely in your
hands.<br /><br /></li><li>Those that want to participate should use the
smartphone Apps to set their "Social Group" parameter to
JABBERWOCKY. You should set this some time before 2pm UTC on Thursday
14th June 2012. Please also ensure that your car and apps are using the
<a href="http://tmc.openvehicles.com">tmc.openvehicles.com</a>
server.<br /><br /></li><li>Those that want to see the participants on
the smartphone apps can just use the GROUPS feature in the map tabs to
add group JABBERWOCKY and see it.<br /><br /></li><li>Those that want to
see the participants from a PC, on a global map can go to <a
href="http://maps.google.com">maps.google.com</a> and enter the
following into the search box: <font face="'Andale Mono'"
class="Apple-style-span"><a
href="http://tmc.openvehicles.com:6868/group?id=JABBERWOCKY">http://tmc.openvehicles.com:6868/group?id=JABBERWOCKY</a></font>
(if you want to test this today, you can replace ELECTRICRACE as the
group id, to see Rafael's position in his round-the-world race).<br
/><br /></li><li>Once you remove the social group parameter from your
car module, it will stop sending location updates to that group, and be
removed when it times out some time later (or RESET the module to
disconnect and be immediately
removed).</li></ol></div></blockquote><div><br /></div><div>A good idea,
or lousy because of privacy concerns?</div><div><br
/></div><div>Mark.</div><div><br /></div> </div></blockquote></font>
