A modern, opensource approach to collaborative tasks.
This software package is supposed to run on your home/office/ship/plane/ufo/*space's board computer.
It initially grew out of frustration with existing navigation solutions for sailors, as none of these are really oriented towards sailing crews (i.e. multi-user setups), but we saw the potential for other 'classic' areas of collaboration and started extending it towards a more general application framework.
A lot of the included modules are still Work in Progress, so help out, if you're interested in a powerful - cloud independent - collaboration tool suite.
The system is modular, so you can install what you need and leave other things.
These are 'official' Hackerfleet developed modules. If you'd like to contribute your own, ping riot@c-base.org, to get it added to the list.

Most of these are not yet fully usable, so please help out and perhaps take ownership of one (or more) of them!
We primarily focused on navigation tools, so these are currently the 'more usable' modules. They are far from complete, see the WiP list below.
Obligatory Warning: Do not use for navigational purposes! Always have up to date paper maps and know how to use them!

Please research any bugs you find via our Github issue tracker for HFOS and report them, if they're still unknown.
If you want to discuss distributed, opensource (or maritime) technology in general incl. where we're heading, head over to our Github discussion forum ...which is cleverly disguised as a Github issue tracker.

Note
Please be patient when using IRC, responses might take a few hours!
There is more than one way of installing HFOS, see the quickstart instructions for those.
The simplest way is to use the new install script:
$ sudo ./installIt installs all dependencies then sets up a user account and the system's services. If you run into trouble or get any unexpected errors, try the complex installation procedure.
We like to hang out on irc, if you want to chat or help out, join irc://freenode.org/hackerfleet :)
Please be patient or even better use screen/tmux or something to irc. Most of us are there 24/7 but not always in front of our machines.
