Planned Activities for 2013/2014

The activities will be detailed and documented progressively, as the course is being developed, that is, depending on the feedback, interests, new ideas and questions from the participants. For now a rough list of things that we aim at covering across the year:

• Install party: running Raspbian on the Pi.
• operating system basics: administration and UNIX history
• C oneliners: C and shell programming basics with pipes
• wireless deaddrops and access points: setting up a standalone wireless network to share files outside of the Internet.
• camera/sensors machines: turning the Pi into a surveillance machine
• spiders/crawlers: turning a network of Pis into a data harvesting fest
• web literacy: HTML5, CSS3, js + webmaker tools
• basic client/server service development: Python, node.js and others.
• Pd patch player: a more elaborate network and web application using golang and libpd
• Tor public access point: onionland and co
• MITM and public wifi access points: run your own PRISM! :)
• Audio synth in Python with pyo
• Audio synth in the browser with flockingjs
