As we approach the finish line rapidly in coming weeks if not days, this morning AnishM, AvniK, TimM and GeorgeH helped standardize our IIAB install image filenames, example preview:
iiab-6.2-YYMMDD-pixel-sampler-g2ea032e.img.zip (Our emerging guidelines @ http://tinyurl.com/iiabimages should help many others build Internet-in-a-Box images for many other OS's, HW platforms and most important new regions/languages as well!) Final install images for IIAB 6.2 will be posted to http://xsce.org/download(s) in coming weeks. As another example, Josh & All have helped refine a "sampler" content suite that will appear within most "official" IIAB images going forward (typically 3GB and larger) again to spur more DIY librarians/curators with vivid examples, inspiring them to build their own IIAB install images. By default with Sugarizer etc enabled/on, and great sample content ready-to-roll for particular languages and regions of the world, e.g.: iiab-6.2-YYMMDD-raspbian-lite-medical-espanol-g2ea032e.img.zip In other words IIAB install images should have filenames like: iiab-<version>-<YYMMDD>-<os-and-version>-<content-summary> -<githash>.img.zip Where... version = *auto-generated* IIAB version number YYMMDD = *auto-generated* date os-and-version = manual input into compress.sh content-summary = manual input into compress.sh githash = *auto-generated* githash (always begins with the letter g, followed by 7 characters) Conlusion: compress.sh <https://github.com/iiab/iiab-factory/blob/master/box/rpi/compress.sh> builds the install image, if you want to build one yourself: if so see page 5 of http://tinyurl.com/iiabimages for more on compress.sh as we fine-tune this still-changing spec, *Thanks All for your ongoing input!* PS More to follow as details emerge around the possibility of plug+play content suites & constituent content packs, e.g. we also envision 100GB of prefab medical/educational content suites downloadable in "6min 40sec" while making your morning coffee IF we believe the hype about the many new cities promising 2gbit/s connection to the home (not just Hong Kong anymore, but more on our sneakernet-friendly distributed/offline web ambitions later :-)
