CoraLibre android sdk

[Message forwarded from Gramá]

Governments are starting to roll out Coronavirus-tracing apps based on the Apple-Google developed Exposure Notification API.
Google has implemented the API in their Google Services, which means that if you don't use them, you cannot use the Coronavirus Tracing APP.
I am a health specialist and I do care about privacy, I have no Google Services on any of my or my family's phones. But I do care about health and I know the importance that tracing infections have for the control of epidemics. That's why I'm fighting for doing this in the most possible open way, using as much Open Source software as possible, and I strongly belive this can be done.

Unfortunately until now all the biggest, government-funded, projects, do not address this issue, simply relying on the use of the API implementation in Google Play Services. But we have a great, well known, Android developer which started an project to develop an Open Source SDK that would be compatible with such systems and would allow us to have a Coronavirus Tracing APP that would be independent from Google Play Services.

This is the link to the project: https://github.com/theScrabi/CoraLibre-android-sdk .

Please spread the word among other developers, to have as much people as possible working on it. I'm not a developer unfortunately, so I cannot help with that. But I am a doctor and I strongly believe on the importance of this kind of tracing tools for epidemics control.
