Project Link aims to be your own, personal user agent for the smart home, creating a web of things that is completely yours. Instead of entrusting your data to a third party, your Link agent understands your preferences for how you want to interact with the world of devices in your home, and can even automate your connected world for you. All of this still done conveniently and securely, but completely under your control.
If you would like to participate, you can get in touch with our connected devices participation team, or find us on irc.mozilla.org, channel #foxlink.
Project overview
Project Link (formerly Foxlink) is a short-term experiment to build a software building block that can interact with various devices. Most code is done in Rust.
Development process
Repositories
All code is open source and hosted on GitHub repositories. Please file bugs on Github issues for these repositories.
IRC
You can find us on irc.mozilla.org, channel #foxlink.
Methodology
We are using some agile practices:
- "Stand-up" meetings happen on etherpad and on IRC every weekday between 5pm and 5:15pm UTC.
- Weekly meetings happen in Vidyo and on etherpad every monday between 5pm and 6pm UTC.
References
Very early documentation:
- Straw-man PoC description on etherpad
- Google Drive folder (everything is behind closed doors so far but we're working on opening this up.)
External participation
Given the very early stage of the project and its uncertain nature, we can't promise to accept contributions yet. But still you can have a look at existing issues on GitHub and if some issues look appealing you can ask about them.
