> The name "Eddystone" might sound a little weird, but Google says it's named after the Eddystone Lighthouse in the UK

Damnit Google! Naming things after light-houses is our "thing"![1][2][3][4] :-)

All joking aside this sounds like a pretty cool project. And anything that helps keep as much IoT infrastructure open-source as possible, is a Good Thing in our book. I'm actually really hoping this catches on and displaces iBeacon as much as possible.

Funny the things you stumble across when reading through user comments. Love what you're doing.

In your 'travels', have you come across the need to integrate your services with the TechnologyOne line of products?

Information insight is a problem the company I work for struggles with immensely.

I'm not familiar with TechnologyOne's products, but I'll look them up. If you'd like to talk about it offline, feel free to drop me an email. prhodes@fogbeam.com
