I think of the school server as a collection of services. It is natural that individual countries will package different sets of services, and base it on Linux distributions and upgrade mechanisms that they are used to. We should concentrate on the commonalities, and identifying best practices for management of large scale deployments with different levels of connectivity. Glad to see the ecosystem enlarging, it has come a long way in four years (when Plan Ceibal was forced to develop their own due to OLPC's lateness in realizing the need for a school server).

I'm not convinced why there should be more than one or two. I'm happy to co-operate with others to make this happen, provided that our deployment needs are met. Looking forward to the announcement.
