Description

Being able to receive weather and public emergency warnings can save lives, and we don't want people using FOSS to be at a disadvantage compared to proprietary platforms when it comes to that.

Description

In this talk we'll look at the infrastructure that has been built in the past year to aggregate public alert message based on OASIS' Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) from 100 countries and distribute those via push notifications using UnifiedPush. We'll also discuss how this can be integrated into client applications.

Biography

Volker joined KDE more than two decades ago and has since contributed to KDE Frameworks, KDE PIM and Akonadi, ELF Dissector, the digital travel assistance app KDE Itinerary and three major version transitions of KDE's software stack, among other things.
