Task #7015
Updated by Nico Schottelius over 4 years ago
h2. 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.
h2. Software
* *nix, BSD, etc.
* Webserver
* maybe python/flask
* program to write to the local LCD
h2. 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*
