Our local volunteers pick-up excess healthy food from local food donors and deliver it directly to local social service agencies that feed the food insecure.

Food Rescue US was founded in Fairfield County in 2011 when our founders, Jeff Schacher and Kevin Mullins, recognized that two growing challenges facing their community and the nation, food insecurity and food waste, could be solved with innovative technology, volunteers, and a direct-transfer model. Together, they founded Community Plates and created a unique model of food rescue that is simple, sustainable, and scalable. The organization quickly received vast support from volunteer rescuers, food donors, and social service agencies, and by 2014, the organization had rescued more than 6 million meals and was serving not only Fairfield County but also Albuquerque and Columbus.

In the following years, we continued to expand in order to meet the needs of more communities. In 2017, the organization changed its name to Food Rescue US in recognition of our expanding national presence and simultaneously launched a new version of our app, which we continue to upgrade.

Since our founding, we have provided 166 million meals and kept 199 million pounds of excess food out of landfills. Food Rescue US is now in 39 locations and constantly growing.

Binkd transfers files between two Fidonet systems over TCP/IP.

Errol is a file sender that rely on inotify. It can be used to watch a directory and automatically transfers the new files (or modified ones) with XMPP. Requires inotify support (which is a given - Linux). Uses the slixmpp Python module.

Requires XEPs 0198 (stream management), 0060 (pubsub), 0045 (MUC) on the server. Pubsub nodes need to be set to "open." Has links to a couple of PoC tests to make sure the server's set up correctly.

I think I can use this to figure out how to write a File Transfer Bot.

A fast and easy file sharing application. Upload a file and it generates a unique link (even for duplicates). Send the link to someone and they can download the file with it. You can set a password on the site to control who can use it. Links can be set to self-destruct. No database required, just PHP. Encryption optional. Cronjob to delete old files. Comes with a PoC bash script for uploading from the command line.

XEP-0363 CLI upload tool. Written in Python, uses SleekXMPP. Give it login credentials to an XMPP server and a filename, and it'll upload the file to the server.

A filedump application that lets users send large files to one another. Upload a file to the server and it sends a message to its intended recipients with a link telling them where they can download it from.
