Re: [IAEP] SoaS deployment (1st grade) in CFS (Boston area)
Mel, This is just great. I look forward to see what happens next. If I can help at all, just let me know.

It's meant to be small, short-term (Feb-May) and very well-documented - basically, what is the simplest complete SoaS deployment mechanism you could set up? is the question we are trying to answer by doing it. More information at http://blog.melchua.com/category/soas/, http://sdziallas.com/blog/sebastian/2010/02/im-excited-seriously.html, and https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Sugar. There's a wiki page up about the deployment at http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/User:Mchua/SoaS_pilot, but this is a very temporary location until the students pick a name for the deployment - at which point we'll move to mainspace with that name. --Mel ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)

[IAEP] SchoolTool Development Grants
Hi folks, Excuse the philanthropic spam, but Walter suggested this would be a reasonable spot for this announcement. SchoolTool is a project to create free and administrative software for schools around the world, particularly in the developing countries. SchoolTool was conceived by Mark Shuttleworth, who remains the primary funder of the project. Much more information about SchoolTool is available at http://schooltool.org We're excited to announce an initiative to provide 50,000 Euro in custom development grants to help schools, government, and organizations in the developing world to pilot and deploy SchoolTool for computer based school management. This could be an excellent compliment to a OLPC deployment. Much more here: http://book.schooltool.org/htmlhelp/grant-rfp.html Also, my initial guess is that integration into the OLPC school server wouldn't be the first step in the process -- we'd rather focus on functionality first -- but if we had a successful OLPC-based pilot we'd almost certainly then work on XS integration.
