Fedora LiveUSB station - brainstorming
by Zoltan Hoppar 10 Apr '17

10 Apr '17

Greetings, I am currently gathering my hardwares and tools, to create a Fedora image creator station - that I can put out to the desk at Fedora events. The main target would be to have a standalone machine, with blueprints, that if any local Fedora community around the world want to follow - be able to do it. With a standalone flasher, we can much more easier share our installers - and we can put something attractive to the desk at events. If internet access is rare, or weak, IMHO this device as access point, sharing point can be a glue for the local communities. Main functions? --------------- I am thinking in 3 base +1 extra function on this station: - Local standalone offline access point - local free wifi station with downloadable content. (Sort of mod of Piratebox, Librarybox - or such). Possibly with chat services, or IRC meeting box. - Standalone online file sharing point, file server, shared coding platform - same downloadable content (Fedora user guide, Fedora digital flyers, local copy of getfedora website) - Ambassadors digital event box: if give digital flyers, and contents that ambassadors can share and load with useful contents - as Ambassadors shedules, talking points, marketing stuff - and such. +1 function: I'd like to package a separate 5 ports charger unit, so Ambassadors can stop visitors that if they want they can charge up phones, tablets and their units. Good, but with what kind of devices? --------------------------------------- Right now, I am thinking in 4 possible device - but I would like to put out to discussion witch path would be the mostly less painful and cheap. I have already contacted with Martin Bříza, who developing the Fedora Media Writer, and IMHO would be a great option to have it if the screen is an option is such build. Furthermore in marketing part, I think the earlier LiveUSB Station concept had at that time a nice artwork - that similarly with this device can be useful. So, the 4 device option that I am thinking: - Olimex Olinuxino Lime2 board with SATA. Allwinner A20 chip. Mostly supported, but 55 EUR with 4Gb storage, kinda expensive but can be fully equipped even with batteries. But not only worrying about the TCO in this option, else maybe the A20 would be weak for the tasks above. - Raspberry Pi 3 - mostly widespreaded, known, and possibly most usable - but - Orange PI zero with USB expansion board: Tiny, cheap (I have ordered mine for barely 25 EUR in total, with cube case), nicely portable device, but Allwinner H2, H2 plus - as far as I know not really supported by Fedora. But I know it wrong, maybe. Plus in this board that has SPI flash. - FriendlyArm Nanopi Neo AIR : This tiny board has an 8G integrated storage that can be IMHO an option for the Fedora images, using Allwinner H3 chip, 3 usb, BT and Wifi integrated. Cost is approx 25 USD with heatsink. My questions? --------------- First I'd like to have feedbacks, ideas, and maybe points that I didn't saw yet. - Witch path, board would be the best solution in your opinion? - In what form/shape can you imagine this Fedora device? - What purpose you think that can be added, or would be useful? - What would you change, add, remove in this project? Thank you, Zoltanh721 PS: Boards that I have: RsPi 1b, RsPi3, Orange PI Zero with expansion board (under delivery). -- PGP: 06853DF7

If it is at an event the equipment should always be attended. I can see a stand alone unattended device being a secure integral form, but at an event you want to talk about Fedora and the hardware and that is easier when you show the pieces. > - What purpose you think that can be added, or would be useful? > A kiosk to get questions and comments about Fedora or your topic, and contact information (not shared) to reply. - What would you change, add, remove in this project? > I think it is a great idea, so I hope you continue on. I will be using a RPi3 and a BeagleBone Black at LinuxFest NorthWest (LFNW) as a kiosk. I hope to capture the QR code from the badges, the kiosk program (beefy-connection by vwbusguy) currently asks for info and can take a picture. My keyboard has a usb socket so guests could burn an image without handling the little boards, I'll see if I can add a burn image button to the kiosk. Keep us posted on your project and look for pictures of LFNW, May 6-7, on Planet Fedora and Fedora blog. -- Jeff Sandys

by Robert Mayr 05 Apr '17

05 Apr '17

Hi all, we had a FAmSCo meeting today and 4 members out of 7 showed up. We finished the mentor's availability survey and will proceed with updating the wiki page accordingly (thanks giannisk). For the ambassadors state, we need to run the script a second time, so for next week we will be set even on that. Finally, we talked about getting the new mentor nomination process out and discussed briefly the FAmA situation. This needs to be taken to next week. Want to know more? Then read our minutes: https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-2/2017-04-05/famsco.2017-0… Thank you. Kind regards. -- Robert Mayr (robyduck)

Wiki page containing all the marketing collateral designs and SWAG designs
by Chino Soliard 03 Apr '17

03 Apr '17

Hi there, In LATAM, we are near an event (http://flisol.info), and I'm trying to produce some stickers to distribute between the assistants. I haven't found actual (better say, newer) stickers on the wiki, but I've seen a lot of really cool stickers in some events, and pictures of folks in social networks. I only find this two links: · https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_collateral?rd=Artwork/MarketingCol… · https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/Stickers So, to make short this email, here's the point: - Is there a place (in the wiki, or anywhere) where all marketing collateral designs and SWAG designs are together so I can choose what I want to produce? If something important I've learned contributing to Fedora is to take initiative, so, if you think this that this is necessary, I can work on that, but it will take a time, because I have to assist events in April, May and June. - Should we create a Wiki page containing that? by the way, I've presented myself in oct/2012 https://lists.fedorahosted.org/archives/list/marketing@lists.fedoraproject.… I cc design-team and ambassadors, because, maybe, they know where I can find what I'm looking for. Regards! -- Adrian "Chino" Soliard Fedora Project Contributor https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Asoliard
