Now that we have a community, lets build our first gateway !

I finally managed to get a gateway up and running on a RPi3.

It uses an ic880a board and the poly-packet forwarder, although I intend to change it to use a packet forwarder which will eventually run using resin.io as a docker image.

Unfortunately I dont have a node yet to test this gateway, and am still waiting for my ThingNode to arrive.
