Folks, and Katelyn specifically,

At the OLPC Boston meetup tonight, it was suggested that CFS needed to
both procure XO School Server hardware and install the necessary
software on the server.  I would be interested in handling the install
part of this, but am a bit concerned about my limited Linux install
experience.  I am fairly comfortable at the command line, but I don't
live/breathe Linux.

On the OLPC wiki, I found the following information:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/School_server (lots of links, including the
below information)
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_Recommended_Hardware
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_Installing_Software

The CFS page (http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Cambridge_Friends_School_Pilot#School_server)
suggests maybe just have a repository for backup, and I thought I
heard mention of installing Moodle for educational content.

Can someone please inform me/OLPC Boston what the current plan is
w/r/t school server/infrastructure, if I can get involved, and next
steps?

Thanks,
-Chris Vance
