Without making any commitment to an OCLUG presentation...
Gliding clubs in Canada and around the globe have a project called Open
Glider Network (OGN).
http://wiki.glidernet.org/about
Aircraft are using a proprietary collision avoidance device called a
Flarm -or- an inexpensive, programmable GPS/radio such as a TTGO T-Beam.

Those devices transmit their positions.
Dotted around the landscape are land-based OGN receivers that feed
captured positions into the OGN database on the Internet. Live tracking
can be seen at

There is no live traffic ATM, but it sometimes looks like this

Hello all,
I have been looking at some Open Source Tracking software (for legal
purposes such as business land fleet management, tracking of public
health transportation vehicles, and approved research drone work). I
stumbled upon an interesting group of Canadian Veterans who are
completing their advanced drone pilot licenses for second careers -
very cool from multiple perspectives. If anyone here is a Canadian
Veteran and is interested in this, please feel free to contact me
privately and I can tell you more about them. If you already know
METAR/TAF you're really golden (for example, I have my full ground
school completed for my private pilot's license and this is apparently
quite overkill).
I found a decent list of options for open source GPS-based tools
(https://www.goodfirms.co/gps-tracking-software/blog/best-free-open-source-gps-tracking-software)
and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with these or other
open source software for GPS-based tracking? If so, would you
consider giving an OCLUG presentation please?
Thank you,
Katie
