Idea

In essence, LunchMagnet is a location aware ad-hoc social networking service. This means that it enables the fast gathering of people around unplanned or unscheduled activities like for example inviting friends nearby to have lunch with you. The program does this by connecting to a web service for friend discovery, and uses the Android location services for both discovering your own location and calculating the distance.

Conclusion of your work

There were a great amount of code camp spirit among the software team. The used tools and techniques were very suitable for the project but all the members also learned a lot and identify those things that could be done better in future projects. The software team reached the goal that was set during the first day of the code camp and the result of this is a fully functional Android application.
