Hey everyone,
I’ve been thinking about how
BRCK can work better in disaster response. While the device by itself is good for internet connectivity, and that might be enough for a lot of people, I wonder if there’s not something more we as a community can put into it to make it better. I’m more interested in hearing is what we could do with providing
a stack of disaster-related software that could be loaded onto it.
We recently developed the
BRCK+Pi, which marries a RaspberryPi + hard drive + 8-hour battery, to the BRCK in a simple package (
more here). With this extra computing power it turns the device into a remote microserver, where you can cache content locally and do stuff even when in an offline mode.
- What ideas do you have that would fit on it?
- Which problems could this help with?
- Are there any software packages that you’d find valuable on it?
If any of you are interested in talking more about this, I can setup a Skype call or Google Hangout to discuss it some more. Just let me know if interested.
