The three problems that I have come across while attending events: 1. XO and sugar cannot allways connect to all APs. When we have a room full of developers working on the .86 roadmap is not the best time to debug connection issues. I would like to be able to set up a known working access points. 2. It seems that whenever a group of three or more developers gather. They need to start passing around iso files. I would like to be able to set up a very simple file server. 3. As a general rule most networks don't have the bandwidth to handle a large group of hackers. I would like to be able to set up a simple proxy 4. Yesterday, Walter and Caroline noticed that a room full of people using Sugar's collaboration capabilities from a remote server on a conference centers network suboptimal. What would be the best way to set up a system like this? As I go back over the list, it like like I am asking for a School Server on Steroids:) david > - Jonas > > - -- > * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt > * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ > > [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) > > iEYEARECAAYFAknhEYYACgkQn7DbMsAkQLi6KQCeMOkIeojg2/4PYQnb7Qhy+8qO > AtUAn1qAdicnYUoFIF1pl4Slg/Ol8z5M > =7TlN > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > _______________________________________________ > IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!) > [email protected] > http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep > _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
