Hi OLPC SG and Sugar-Devel Folks, This[0] is an interesting situation that these Australian schools find themselves in. Many of the mentioned services found on the Wikipedia page sound like available technologies from FLOSS that need a bit of integration to provide a similar unified project. I don't know the full details and have not expierenced the Sugar Network or the XS in use but are those products partial solutions to this? (eg. Moodle, schooltools, etc.) Could one be developed to meet most of the Ultranet goals?
If these folks had invested in FLOSS solutions funded by a government, it might have had an initial upfront cost that was more, and required maintaince but would not be a product that could cancelled in the way a 3rd party project like this was and would have allowed the users to export their existing metadata/data rather than lose valuable content and invested time. Not to mention the possible volunteer contribution and use by other school. -K [0] http://danielpocock.com/wrong-cloud-nec-ultranet-victoria _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
