Hack Pact

#H1_Setting up a Raspberry Pi as a Wireless Access Point

For this step, I used the guide from Networks Of Ones Own, on How to build my own etherbox!
Build-your-own-etherbox

• 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

• I installed Etherpad on my Raspberry Pi, in order to use it for collaborative real-time writing and editing.

#H3_Document a session of story-sharing and discussion using Etherpad

• People in a feminist hack meeting want to preserve their anonymity, so for documenting a collective discussion a tool like Etherpad is preferred, instead of audio/video recordings. 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.
  
  

#H4_Fanzine making using Inkscape and Scribus

• 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!

#H5_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

#H6_Gif making to capture the process collective writing in Etherpad

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