Combine OPL for Series 60 phones[1] with FOAF and get real world matching via Bluetooth proximity of cellphones. Now imagine being at an Ecademy Event. You've loaded your profile onto your phone. You arrive and your phone makes contact with the people like you and your friends who are already there.

This should get built. It's just way too cool to stay as a research project.

[1]OPL is effectively visual basic for phones. It's an open source scripting language that makes it relatively easy to write applications. It works with any Series 60 phone. It's dramatically dropped the barriers to entry for hone programming. [from: JB Ecademy]
