Dear english-speaking reader, this project was started in a french-speaking country and thus most of our documentation is in french. Despite this, we are much willing to help any english-speaking person who either wants to know more about La Source or wants to build another one. Please contact-us.
What is it ?
La Source is a physical kiosk serving content via USB.
It's a computer in a box with a three buttons interface which enables everybody to grab content from that Kiosk to a USB flash drive.
While the initial Source and most of the followers are serving Free and Libre Content from the Internet, it can be used as a commercial, closed, delivering tool for not connected areas. It's also a great way to offer selected content to a specific audience.
How does it works ?
Under the hood (the wood actually), it's a regular (well, an old one) computer running a Free Software we wrote to allow users to browse the content of the kiosk and eventually transfer it through an over simple three button interface. It's has hard to use as a JukeBox.
A key contactor give the manager the ability to charge some content or not.
How can someone reproduce it ?
Follow the guide! On those pages, we wrote down everything you need to know to build your own Source. Most of it is in french but we included a lot of pictures and we'll assist you in case you need.
If you want to serve Free Content, we'll even send you the datas we offer through our Sources so that it's even easier.
