You can watch the files I’ve received in last week in this address: http://outernet.plentd.com/
I’m getting the files from the CHIP by FTP and then I upload them to my server manually
I couldn’t get signal from my office, but I tried at my home. The setup is extremely dirty, but is working fine =)
For now it’s a hobbie, but I want to start a small team to create content in spanish. If you are interested or already doing something related please tell me.
This is outstanding! Thanks for all of the detailed information regarding your setup.
We would be more than happy to broadcast Spanish content. Our preference is text-based content in file sizes that are less than 10kB. @kenbarbi and @sam_uk are working on some ideas for a feed based system. Maybe they can fill you in on this?
What will the sources of your content be? The biggest issue is finding content that we can distribute for free, so licensing is a concern.
I can say this, any feed based system will have news sources in different languages. Once we determine the best source, it would fairly simple to add the Spanish language feed, even though we don’t speak it. The assumption would be if Voice of America or the Associated Press (as examples) have a Spanish language feed, it would be included. But it would essential to have a Spanish speaker vet the content before it goes out to the world. Ken
If it’s too large for the Filecast System, I’m sure you can email it to Syed, and he’d upload for you. He did that for me with the Hesperian Medical PDFs. Ken
@Eaplmx Is there some way of you automating the updating of http://outernet.plentd.com/ ? It’s really interesting for those of us without lanterns to see what’s happening?
Setting up a cronjob to do the FTP may (or may not!) be easy?
