After porting Kiwixi on Raspberry Pi, I presented the
whole system during
the inauguration of the new WMFR’s offices two weeks ago, and I present it
this Saturday on a small hackfest for general public in my local
hackerspace.
For these two events I’ve created a small poster mainly to appeal the
public to this small device and explain the thing.
You can see on the photo that the system is entirely autonomous with the
battery (about 7 hours of functionning with Wi-Fi), which is kind to
walk with it even without power plug.

This move is a pretty important one for Kiwix :
* It allows to make Wikipedia "kiosk" wireless/wireline with a full copy
of Wikipedia for less than 100 USD (HW costs). This can be done with
only a small amount of tech. knowledge: have a look to the kiwix-plug page:
http://www.kiwix.org/wiki/Kiwix-plug
* This is the first step to make fully autonomous (disconnected of the
power grid) WIFI hotspots. Development of a standardized solar powered
solution will start soon under the name of "kiwix-solar".
So, thanks a lot to Seb35 for all his good work.
