Français
Cet atelier BYOD (Bring Your Own Device - Apportez votre propre matériel) va vous guider à travers les étapes nécessaires pour programmer votre propre Raspberry Pi afin qu'il devienne un serveur Kiwix, fournissant un accès Wifi à l'encyclopédie hors-ligne Wikipedia pour les téléphones intelligents (smartphones) , les tablettes et autres appareils. Ce système est testé au Sénégal depuis 2016 et est basé sur le "Pirate Box", un serveur DIY (Do It Yourself) qui permet d'échanger des fichiers et de communiquer hors-ligne et de manière anonyme. Des projets similaires sont, par exemple, Library Box ou Freedom. Ce type d'appareil peut facilement être fabriqué par un des Fab Labs qui se développe un peu partout dans le monde. Tout ce dont vous avez besoin est un Raspberry Pi 3 et une carte micro SD de capacité suffisante pour sauvegarder le contenu de Kiwix. Le fichier de format zim est 59 Go pour la version anglaise et moins de 32 Go pour lla version francophone.
