As some of you may know, uhck has had an opensign for quite some time that has a simple API and reports the current status on IRC. Additionally I've been considering extending the API and have been toying with a simple Android app.

Yesterday zash told me about SpaceAPI which is a simple JSON API for reporting hackerspace statuses. After hearing about it I went and implemented it in spacebot, which doubles as a simple HTTP server on port 12345. After some minor fixes I managed to get our API URL added to the SpaceAPI directory, meaning Umeå Hackerspace is now officially in their list of spaces! This means you can for instance find us in the My Hackerspace app. The SpaceAPI site has a list of other apps and services using their directory, see this link.
