+## Abstract
+
+OwnTracks let you track your own location (hence the name) via your own equipment. It is an Open Source project which produces Android and iOS apps.
+
+In this talk, we tell you a bit about the crazy idea of how OwnTracks came to be, and some of the applications we've know people are using it for. We'll show you some of the eco-system around it. OwnTracks also produces a "protocol" which is implemented in the Recorder and for openHAB and Home Assistant, Traccar, etc.
