Hey all, I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that Activity Central [1] is going to start working on a Dextrose Server project. For a little background, Dextrose [2] is Activity Central's primary product. Dextrose is based on upstream OLPC OS and Sugar. Most of what we do is a is a patch set on top of OLPC's repositories. These patches are submitted upstream for acceptance or rejection. The primary benefit of this is that it changes the emphasis of the development model from discussing how fixes or features _should_ be implemented to reviewing how a patch _solved_ a particular problem.
Our initial effort will be to create puppet modules to enable deployments to remotely maintain and configure school servers. >From a schools point of view, a School Server is a black box which provides various services including: 1. security -- 2. proxy -- 3. backup -- 4. collaboration -- Our initial goal will be create puppet modules to setup and maintain these key services. As a matter of work flow all of our work will be available as patches to upstream XS.6 andor XS.7. davidA 1. http://activitycentral.com/ 2. http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Dextrose 3. http://www.puppetlabs.com/ _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
