Presenting with Andre Castro

Workshop: Bibliotecha


Bibliotecha is a local offline network for distribution of digital texts, which allows small communities to build and share their electronic text collections. Bibliotecha relies on a small computer (a RaspberryPi) running open-source software to serve the ebooks over a local WIFI hotspot. Using the browser to connect to it, one is given the option to retrieve or donate texts.

Bibliotecha's workshop is centered on implementing from the ground up a series of Bibliotecha nodes. The workshop will introduce Bibliotecha's essential architecture, the open-source software it relies upon, such as Calibre, Lighttpd and hostapd, as well as Unix/Linux fundamental concepts such as the shell interface, time-sharing, SSH protocol, Linux software repositories, captive portals, etc. At the end of the workshop each (group of) participant(s) will take home a Bibliotecha node, ready to distribute electronic books.

Participants with all levels of knowledge are welcomed. You just need to have a laptop and be at ease with it ;]
