jugendhackt-infobeamer

Scripts for using a frab-style schedule and infobeamer for Jugend hackt events.

Ideally, it will provide an unattended installation and start from there.

Getting started with autoinstallation

To get your own fahrplan and visualization, perform the following steps:

1. Download the current version of raspberrypi-ua-netinst and write it onto your SD card, e.g. xzcat raspberrypi-ua-netinst-v2.0.0.img.xz | sudo dd bs=4M of=/dev/mmcblk0
2. Copy the files in the /raspberrypi-ua-netinst/config folder into the /raspberrypi-ua-netinst/config folder in the freshly created SD card
3. Insert the SD card into your Pi, connect it to LAN and power and keep your fingers crossed – raspbian, info-beamer and the jugendhackt-infobeamer packages should be installed automatically and henceforth be started after booting.

Updating the schedule

• edit jh-fahrplan/jugendhackt.ini and update the title, acronym and start/end dates for your event
• edit jh-fahrplan/jugendhackt.csv to reflect your plans. It might be easier to build a different csv for each day/a separate one for the lightning talks
• export the csv fahrplan by copying the fahrplan folder into your voctosched base directory and calling the ini file, e.g.: python3.6 schedule.py -vvd -c fahrplan/jugendhackt.ini
• make the resulting schedule.xml accessible, e.g. by calling a simple http server from within the jh-fahrplan directory: python3 -m http.server 8082

TODO

• wget info-beamer-pi instead of delivering it with this repo (which kind of taints the license)
• Add and refine info-beamer visualization for info-beamer
• Streamline the schedule export process
