EDI

What is EDI?

EDI is a hackerspace automation system designed to be, well, hacker friendly :)

Build around an AMQP Server and small Apps. Customize EDI by editing code not XML files.

Most Apps are written in python followed by bash and Clojure. A library for python is included as well as a helper tool to easily connect shell scripts.

Concept

Open

• Develop with any programming language
• No access control to keep people out

KISS

• Loosely coupled subsystems with simple tasks
• Keep state local
• Each subsystem runs as own process

Message-based

• Subsystem communicate via messages
• Broker routes messages

Distributed

• Subsystems can run anywhere

Features

• IRC Bot
  • sed substitution
  • karma
• User Presence
• login
• logout
  • eta
• Help
• Automation
  • DMX Lamp control
  • 433Mhz
  • MPD
• Text-to-speech
• Init System
  • Room shutdown, startup

Ideas, Todos

Features

jabber bot

• user same msg exchange as irc bot
• Possible routing keys: “jabber.recv.raw” “jabber.send.raw”

calendar integration: source

• Repeatedly parse calendar files. Ideally iCalendar. Load from Caldav? google calendar?

Variants

Calendar Commands

• Calendar contains EDI commands. Tool emits commands at specified times.
• Alternative to cron + emit_cmd script
• Could be useful to build an alarm clock

Events

Event

Something is going to happen at a point in time. Wie das digitale Zeitalter..

set irc topics/modeline

• Calendar events like Smalltalks
• Something like the emacs modeline?

Voice Recognition

Idea

Speech to text. At least in english. Perform natural language processing to extract meaning. Generate commands.

Tools, Ideas

pocketsphinx

pocketsphinx is a cpp implementation of sphinx, smaller and not java.

• debian/ubuntu packages: https://launchpad.net/~dhuggins/+archive/cmusphinx
• transformations:
  • we can’t recognize users by voice.
  • “!say” not nice to say. instead:
    • “user command <user> <command>”
    • “UC <user> <command>”
    • “command <command>
    • “do <command>”
• “EDI: command say foo”
• “EDI: user command seri login”
• “EDI: user command seri logout”
• “EDI <TONE> ”

wit.io

• natural language processing web app
• does the text -> meaning part
• exports sphinx language models

integration

msg

recv

voice recognition with some custom transformations

send

notify.audio?

asterisk

• .. we can recocnize users by callerid
• login by phone?
• desktop edi voice clients based on SIP
