And last, we'll host a MinitelSE workshop with @recyclism@tldr.nettime.org
MinitelSe is an Open Source Operating System (“Système d’Exploitation”) running on a dedicated hardware designed for the 1980’s french Minitel.
Running on single board computer the Operating System acts as a gateway to the Internet and offers a set of tools and software.
After been decommissioned in 2012, and to avoid having to recycle them, millions of the initially state owned Minitels were given to their users by the french government. Many of those devices are still available, fully functional and unused. With this in mind, the Internet of Dead Things Institute, has decided to design an interface that would allow anyone to reuse this device beyond its initial capacity.
MintelSe allows its users to stream radio, browse the Internet in text mode, play games (Tetris, Worms, …), read the news, do chat, send and receive encrypted messages, and more. New tools and dedicated hardware are been developed by our engineering team on an ongoing basis.
