Re: [Server-devel] Post XS-0.7 plans
George Hunt made key improvements in the last hour, so we're looking for early testers for XS Community Edition, that may later become XS 0.8: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Holt/XS_Community_Edition/Install_Recipe Thanks for yr feedback, contributions & documentation suggestions! Caveat: This is an ALPHA release at best, and will improve dramatically as the week progresses :) PS those near/West of Toronto consider joining us for dinner Friday 7PM! -- Help kids everywhere map their world, at http://olpcMAP.net ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel

I feel some uncertainty as to whether this is as it should be or not. George created http://schoolserver.wordpress.com so its blog/RSS feed get more people involved via http://planet.laptop.org Also because he found wordpress pulldowns easier to navigate than wiki swamps I suspect? To his credit. In any case, I personally prefer wikis' inclusive rapidity so I've copied the latest DRAFT "for testers only" install recipe from: http://schoolserver.wordpress.com/xs-installation/community-edition-xs-on-xo-1-75/ Over to: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Holt/XS_Community_Edition/Install_Recipe Of course fast-moving changes this week will break the above repeatedly, but hopefully you/Tim. Anna etc can help us all build out battle-tested community-friendly basic docs before the end of the week ;) ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel

I can't comment on behalf of OLPC, and asking about an indefinite future is not really going to get you a concrete answer. However it is fair to say that OLPC has in one way already handed off the XS to the community. The last version (0.7) was not developed by OLPC, it was developed by the Zamora Teran foundation. > Documentation on the Community School Server is starting to appear outside > of the laptop.org wiki.

The decision (and workload) is up to them. Daniel ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
Re: [Server-devel] Post XS-0.7 plans
So would it be accurate to say that OLPC does not plan any future XS other than the Community School Server, currently a work-in-progress by George, Jerry, and others? Documentation on the Community School Server is starting to appear outside of the laptop.org wiki. I feel some uncertainty as to whether this is as it should be or not. -- From: "Daniel Drake" Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 4:24 PM To: "Tim Moody" Cc: "XS Devel" Subject: Post XS-0.7 plans Hi, On Tue, Nov 13, 2012 at 2:08 PM, Tim Moody wrote: Hi Daniel, Can you tell me what plans there are for the XS beyond version 0.7 and who would be undertaking them. Based on recent discussions at the OLPC community summit in San Francisco, it looks like the next version of the XS will be developed by George Hunt and Jerry Vonau and their collaborators. I think their plans are to continue moving in the direction that allows the XS to be more modular, and to additionally support the ARM hardware platform. I believe they still have some issues to solve caused from fallout with the move to Fedora 17, and then the work will need to be posted as patches for a technical review on this mailing list.
