The Fedorator is a device for writing a live image of Fedora onto USB flash drives. It is intended to be used on marketing booths.
It's a box with a touchscreen and two USB ports exposed. The basic use case is the user inserting a flash drive. The screen then provides a menu where the user may select a Fedora release, including the Workstation or Spins and Labs. Upon selection a bootable image is written onto the flash drive. The process takes about 3 minutes with a decent flash drive.
At the core of the Fedorator is a Raspberry Pi. There are instructions available for anybody wishing to build a Fedorator, as well as the source code of the software.
The second version of the Fedorator is in development by Sanqui. The following improvements are planned.
- A sleeker design with the screen under an angle
- Integration with the Raspberry Pi photobooth
- Marketing materials and fun stuff like Twitter integration (possible subject of a sprint)
