#H1_Setting up a Raspberry Pi as a Wireless Access Point

• Install and setup Raspbian Lite on Raspberry Pi 3
• Enable SSH
• Setup hotspot
• Assign a static IP address to the Pi

#H2_Install Etherpad on Raspberry Pi

• Use Etherpad for collaborative real-time writing and editing

#H3_Fanzine making using Etherpad, Inkscape, Gimp and Scribus

• Why writing in Etherpad: People in a feminist hack meeting wanted to preserve their anonymity, so for documenting a collective discussion a tool like Etherpad is preferred, as audio/video recordings were not possible in this situation. The real-time, multi-authorship editing helped in correcting mistakes, adding notes from different people simultaneously.
• Notes from the Etherpad were exported in PDF format, using Ctrl+p in Chrome, with the option "Background graphics" enabled, in order to keep authorship colours.
• Inkscape used to crop the pdf in smaller pieces (short stories), so they could be used in the layout later.
• FTP server a Raspberry Pi to share images/sketches/photos, that can be used in the layout.
• Scribus used to create a basic layout from the images selected in the FTP server, and the cropped short stories from the Etherpad. Export the file in A4 pdf.
• Print fanzine!

#H4_Create PDF booklet using a script

• A recipe that turned the A4 pdf into a ready-to-print booklet: https://gitlab.constantvzw.org/zine-machines/workshop-scripts/tree/master/booklet

#H5_Gif making to capture the process collective writing/editing in Etherpad

• Peek used for screen-recording and GIF-making.
• Gifsicle to edit the GIF, for example, to resize it.

A Raspberry pi becomes a hotspot.
It contains Etherpad, where collective notes can be documented simultaneously.
Collective notes and annotations from the pad can become material to create small publications. (e.g. fanzines)
