Friends,
You may already have heard the news, but I wanted to take a moment to
let you know that I have just concluded my tenure as Engineering
Manager at One Laptop per Child Australia.
It's been a rewarding three and a half years. I joined the
organisation as its first technical resource and
these questions on the server-devel list:

that is needed.
I think that improvements can be made at a faster rate, and the user
adoption rate increased, if the XS is a set of packages on top of
Fedora (and, by extension, the OLPC OS).

I am keen to have some consolidation, to avoid parallel development

So far I have counted at least six school server types:

AP. If we need to connect to the school network, we can use a
USB2Ethernet adapter. This will also allow the server to leverage the
other APs in the school. What's important is that we need to be
tolerant of multiple schoolservers on the network, potentially one per
class.

Unfortuntely, there's no easy way to do it with CIFS or NFS -- it
would be an interesting addition to Sugar (possibly to the Journal)

CIFS files shares. Accessing this is doable through GNOME, but not in

It is being used widely across Australia. It's much easier to
implement than a normal XS. I recommend that you give it a go.

this imply that the XS is set to back up all XOs by default, or
must the backup service be explicitly activated?
The machines we intend to use are good enough to facilitate
registration and collaboration, but don't have drives big enough to
back up all of the XOs.

I think this can be done by deleting the gconf information:
rm -rf /home/olpc/.gconf/desktop
No, it is not an elegant solution.
