MPD would be +configured to output audio to the hardware audio outputs through either the +Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) or Open Sound System (OSS) and to allow +client connections on any network interface. Once attached to a computer +network, the stereo system could then be controlled by any other networked +computer system running an MPD client. + +SOFTWARE PACKAGES +----------------- + +This application would require the following software programs and libraries to +be packaged and built for the target hardware: + * MPD + * GLib + * ALSA or OSS + * Libav + + +APPLICATION 2: FEDERATED MICROBLOGGING INSTANCE +=============================================== + +In this application, the operating system would run StatusNet, a popular +microblogging server platform that is federated (able to share information with +other server instances such as Identi.ca). Once attached to a computer network, +this microblogging appliance would allow its user(s) to communicate with users +of similar applicances, Identi.ca, and other servers that implement the same +protocols. + +SOFTWARE PACKAGES +----------------- + +This application would require the following software programs and libraries to +be packaged and built for the target hardware: + * StatusNet + * PHP + * MySQL + * Curl + * GD |
