ipv6

Concept/idea¶

Create an afforable (sub $50) device that acts as a global distributed display. Users can send messages to it from anywhere (with IPv6) and the device will be identified with its location:

• luchsingen.schottelius.org
• linthal.ungleich.ch
• diesbach.digitalglarus.ch
• etc.

We might want to have one-or-more directory services that lists all devices.

A user can then either

• write a message to the people at the place (probably using http post)
• retrieve messages that where sent to the location (probably using http get)

Authentication should be very simple - maybe a random username/password that is displayed on the website of the device, something that lets any human but no bot easily participate.

Software¶

• *nix, BSD, etc.
• Webserver
• maybe python/flask
• program to write to the local LCD

Hardware¶

• Something that connects by wifi
• Something that can run Linux or BSD (to have a real IPv6 stack)

Possible hardware:

• raspberry pi*
• onion omega2
• banana*
