Context

• At the Chaos Communication Congress c3nav is used for indoor navigation.
• The Android Schedule app integrates with c3nav via a room guid.
• The Chaos Communication Congress schedule.xml contains a guid attribute for each room.
• The c3nav instance for the Chaos Communication Congress converts a stable guid into the most recent room name.

Motivation

• Using guid instead room name decouples the schedule app from c3nav.
• The schedule app no longer needs to hardcode room names which often outdate and therefore cannot be updated during the event.
• The indoor navigation just works.

Request

• Add a guid attribute to each room in the schedule.xml for FOSDEM.
• Map each room guid to the latest room name in the c3nav instance for FOSDEM.
