Internet services appear to be converging to a model where data
and functionality mostly reside in the cloud and ISPs offer
ubiquitous access to this vast pool of resources. What is
usually convenient may create limitations (e.g., when the
Internet isn’t quite as accessible) or bring have undesirable
side effects (e.g., content mining or censorship by third
parties). We present a platform for opportunistic communication
that relies on mobile user devices and low-cost infrastructure
owned by users to create and dynamically grow a user network
to complement the Internet, initially at rather local scale.
The present implementation features Raspberry Pis as autonomous
“liberouters”, instruments (not just) Android smart phones for
storing and forwarding data, and offers a distributed app store
as an autonomous market place.
