Hi together,

my name is Tarek I am studding computer silences in Emden, Germany.
I got a google summer of code scholarship this year and I plan to write
a software defined gps Module for Linux as a kernel module.

This kernel module which should communicate with the API and provided
a device driver under /dev as a tty driver. The Linux kernel provides GPS
hardware as tty devices. This software defined tty device should print GPS
format e.g. NMEA 0183. The goal of this kernel module is that programs like
gpsd and other can easily use this standard tty device as a normal GPS hardware.
The position detection continues over Wifi. The advantaged of this module is
that devices like laptops or routers can have simulated GPS hardware. After
that a library should convert the NMEA 0183 format to long-/latitude and
print that.

The API backend should replace the old openwifi.su backend and also communicate
with MLS.

Locking forward to hear from you :)
Tarek
