Description: The Mozilla Location Service (MLS) is an open service, which lets devices determine their location based on network infrastructure like Bluetooth beacons, cell towers and WiFi access points. This network based location service complements satellite based navigation systems like A-GPS. This open service relies on a community of contributors, ranging from individuals collecting data, developers using and innovating on top of the service to organizations sharing information about their infrastructure.
How to contribute: You can contribute by launching the client in android with location and with bluethooth/wifi/mobile data services on (Warning! this could lead to privacy issues, high battery consumption...the use of data is very low and should not entail high costs, but in the case the upload can be carried out once covered by the wifi network)
