Hi
I would like to build an small, and cheap cloud solution that maybe can be our next solution for media distribution. As a POC, I would like to know what kind of cheap ARM board has enough horsepower to provide access to our images (eg. remote tftp server, info site, and more), and can work as our infotaintment server at events if someone joining to this openly accessible box at events.
Thanks,
Zoltan

Define "media distribution", writing usb sticks, just a web service, a web service with a AP for people to connect to, something completely different.

Define "infotaintment server", running on the same as the above or a different device.
Sorry I've not really looked at what the media distribution does at events because i already run Fedora on everything I might take to an event :)

Hi Peter,
Media distribution: Fedora installer images to visitors, project members through this "box". If you connect via wifi with your device, you would be able to copy/download, or even create your needed installer. Access point for the visitors, sharing server, digital information hub. If we would be able to create such box to the event booth, you can say to the visitor, that if you connect - you can fetch what you need or read more about us, who we are what we do, how you can join - and work together with us. We don't have to write discs, we would be able share installers/info/services through this.
Similarily, if you are an ambassador, maybe you can request/build by your own this box, when you receive it, loaded with the latest images - you can fire up the release party, and anyone who needs it can receive his/her installer, marketing tools, or whatnot through the box AP.
2nd use case: At event a team wants to share, or cooperate together without messing with the local network - instead using this box AP witch gives you team tools, eg. etherpad, chat, logging, and anything that can be necessary. If its about packaging, translation, or such how cool would be to have all those tools locally, and share between them to who are joining.
I thought on something this - and for me Kodi looking a pretty good candidate to this, as it has nodejs support, and more....

It has been years since I have done booth duty and worked with the mess of lots of SSIDs all on the same channel.
In the FWIW column, figure out how to do this over the booth's main SSID, not a separate one and cause visitors / booth members even more challenges.
Remember that a separate SSID on a busy channel does not make for better throughput. A busy channel is just that a, busy channel.
I greatly value all of you Fedora developers doing things I cannot; I benefit from your work. But I am a long time standards guy in IEEE 802 and really get beaten into me the limit of physics and RF...
