I did request a Fedora 20 VM at OSUOSL and will move forward as soon as that will be approved and up.

Currently neither Debian nor Ubuntu are shipping the server-side bits of geoclue and RHEL / EPEL 6 do have an 
older libglib than the one we need to have the package built and installed on our RHEL 6 machines.

That said Fedora 20 provides the package we need [1], thus the decision to request a VM with that 
distribution. 

I'll keep the ticket updated as things move forward.
