Thank you Raspberry Pi Official Magazine for your generous coverage of Flokk in issue 161.
From the article:
Open-source software has always interested Mark, not least because his early forays into building home servers were of the DIY, fish-the-hardware-out-of-the-dumpster variety. Linux was the only platform he could afford and that would run on the hardware he’d sourced."
Built for purpose, and affordable, digital solutions secured success for Raspberry Pi and Linux and this platform, and philosophy, makes Flokk the ideal partner to ranchers.
The item concludes:
Demonstrating its real-world use is imperative. “The Flokk I proudly use for investor presentations has brown stains on it; and the source of those brown stains is exactly what you think it is.”.
Ranchers keep cowboys that solve problems using parts pulled from the scrap iron pile, and fire the cowboys who run up big bills at the UFA.
Built by Ranchers for Ranchers, Flokk provides the compelling solution for ranchers to digitize livestock herd traceability, sustainability, and productivity.
