Re: (W3C BG) Presentation by GENIVI LBS EG during F2F last week in Stuttgart & Call for participation in LBS subteam

Thank Adam for sending out the call for participation in LBS subteam.
After reviwing the slides, we, Alibaba Group, are very interested in the LBS subteam.
Actually, Alibaba has set up a LBS open platform, and defined a set of javascript APIs related to navigation, positioning, traffic-info, map-viewer, POI-info, street-viewer, route-planning, distance-measurement, etc.  http://lbs.amap.com/api/javascript-api/summary-3/ 
Sorry that we only have Chinese version website for this part. The attached PDF is
the summary of Alibaba LBS service and LBS API function based on the website.I think this work is very valuable for automotive and Web area. I encourage more people to join this subteam and bring this work forward.

 for navigation called Fuel Stop Advisor that utilizes the native APIs and proves they work and function as expected.  Paul and I will work with GENIVI to bring as much of this work forward and into the open via their open source project page:
http://projects.genivi.org/ivi-navigation/ .  I’m hoping we can get all use cases, requirements and possibly a javascript API that’s based on the native APIs by the end of May.Please review the attached slides and if you’re interested in being part of a subteam to investigate bringing this work forward please let the team know.  Out of those interested, we hope to find someone who will lead this effort
 as well.Sincerely,AdamAdam M AbramskiProduct PlannerInternet of Things Group/Transportation Solutions Division503-264-8269 (o) 503-550-7910 (m)adam.m.abramski@intel.com
