What about lack of available techies?
• Just plug it in … or unplug it when done• Wireless network name: YOERBPI• Server name: www.yoerbpi.net• If you want to be a “techie”
• User name: pi• Password: <……….>• ssh address: 198.168.42.1 OR www.yoerbpi.net

How it compares to “other” things i.e. Librarybox, egranary, Rachel, GLOWM
Similarities with YOER PI:• provide digital content over local wireless network capability
in areas
• Can connect to rechargable battery pack for backup power source
• Connect the USB storage device and the content is available to users in range of the wireless “neighborhood”
Differences: • Others are read only for users, while YOER Pi can be
configured to be either read-only or read-write
• YOER Pi content is easily modified, non-techie can add/delete/modify content
• YOER Pi has a full Linux operating system, which allows full applications and more customization of services (e.g. Dropbox, Moodle), and user interface.
• The pre-packaged content either has copyright or technical restrictions that limit adaptation.
