Hi Pete

 

– could I have a slot to speak about YOUSRC (http://www.yousrc.com) – a free learn-to-code resource for schools. 300+ teachers registered and 6,000 students used in past year. I can provide update on my port of YOUSRC runtime to Pi. 10 or 20 mins would be fine.

 

 

Regards,

Paul.

Excellent..  As I mentioned last week, Id be very happy if an education themed evening emerges :)

[Josh]

If we are going down the education route, I could chat about Code Club. I've been helping with the curriculum, done some UX testing and will be starting a club in a Brighton school in the next school year.

[Pete Hobson]

Josh , sounds great, looks like an excellent project :)

I'd love to do one on making wireless deaddrops.

Sounds good paul, i love the concept but ive never seen one in reality :)

[OricTosh]

I would 2nd Pete on not seeing a dead drop in reality but it would great to set one up. I have heard about them but when I have gone looking not been able to find one.
 
I thought about using the Pi for free public access points upon which the user can connect to Skype and the internet.

You can make a nice wifi dead drop on Linux really easily using DNSmasq, http server (to tell clients what it is!), and the FTP daemon of your choice.

I did something similar recently which relies on people connecting to a WLAN and getting DNSmasq to do the rest...which is providing DHCP functions and to resolve all DNS requests to the IP of the box. What started out initially as a mischievous wireless rickroll morphed into a more useful interactive multimedia publishing and broadcasting platform using Wordpress and Icecast!

I doubt there will be any shortage of Pi dead drop images, but I am happy to help if someone really feels the need to roll their own.

I'd very much like to create a deaddrop disk image specifically for the pi. There's a lot of features I'd like to put on it. Keep trying to think of better protocols other than ftp for bi-directional file transfer over tcp/ip that will work with smartphones and laptops of all varieties, anyone any suggestions? There seem to be a couple of nice samba protocol apps for android ( with ugly ui design ), but not sure if such things exist for iphone.

[Josh Emerson]

I think the best protocol for cross device is probably HTTP. Unfortunately file uploads don't currently work on most phone OS's (coming in iOS 5 for photo's!). But HTTP is perfectly suited to viewing and downloading files on all devices. Apache handles this out of the box!

Josh Emerson

[Paul Hayes]

I think an http file server is a great idea for the downloading. But a deaddrop isn't of much use if people can't easily drop files off. That's why it's imperative to run as many protocols as possible that allow pushing content onto the dead drop.
