CLIP: call for help.

CLIP: CLimate Info Point

2025 Gliwice, Poland

Call for help

We (TePeWu Association) are signing an agreement with city of Gliwice, to set up a "climate infoshop" there (codename SPInKa / CLIP).

We plan to start with an automated infokiosk, placed in public space for everyone to use.

Tech-wise it will be an old laptop with one or two displays (one touchscreen), running a browser in kiosk mode, serving local (federated) instance of dokuwiki (tentatively selected). It will be a prototype for the whole network, all free and open licences ofc.

Now, we are looking for someone to help us create a front/template for such a kiosk, plus somoeone to coordinate the "user experience" design.

If you are such person, please let us know. If you know one, let them know.

Brief summary of the project.
