Hey all, I'm working out a series of scripts, or a "wrapper" if you will, to layer on top of an existing Linux installation with all the necessary tidbits to help a person be able to start hacking on their open source project immediately in their current hackerspace (while minimizing setup time and computer headaches). I'll post up a working script by the middle of next week and try to incorporate all feature requests. This can be portable, but for right now I'm focusing on Debian-based distributions (Mint, Ubuntu, #!, Tails, etc.) to get started. How will it work? Run a live CD such as Tails and run the wrapper to immediately set you up with all necessary tools and scripts. Save all the changes you like to persistent storage (a thumb drive or hard disk) so you'll never have to repeat the process. Code hosted on Github<https://github.com/sunjam/hak/wiki/Feature-Request>so you can vet and fork it. Is this for a specific hackerspace? No, my hope is that the idea will be incorporated by anyone needing a little assistance with using open source tools. I also see a lot of confused people who cannot get on the wireless without assistance in their local hackerspace. Why do I need it? Step into X hackerspace for the first time and get instant access to the internet, open the most recent class notes, print a document on the printer, and anything else you can imagine. How can I help? Submit your feature requests<https://github.com/sunjam/hak/wiki/Feature-Request>and code to Github. Also, spread the word to any person or space who may be interested.
