[Server-devel] EDuBlog XS Beta/Development Server

[Greg Smith (gregmsmi)]

Hi Tony,
 
I think we should finalize the Fedora + XS server and get it shipped to
Glen by the end of next week.
 
My list of SW is:
PostGreSQL
Moodle
XS
Apache 2.0
PHP
 
Networking should be setup to plug and play at Glen's hosting site.
 
If we can get an image on CD too that let us boot and install it back to
default config (preferably without overwriting new stuff but not
critical) that would be helpful too.
 
Tarun, Marcel et al,
 
Let me know if there is any other SW needed. Can you also fill in the
version numbers and let's document this server HW and SW here:

Debian is a stretch goal. I want to make sure we get it to the hosting
site in time to have a full week of config/debug before you go back on
the road (June 30?).
 
If we have enough info and can make it dual boot to Debian that's the
stretch goal, but must hit the install in PA date of June 23. I don't
think we need to share data between the two distros so it can be a
completely different image/partition for Debian. 
 
Marcel will be lead sys admin so he will need user/pass access. Tarun
needs SU access too and I could us a login. Please don't send any
passwords on this list. I'll open a separate thread with Glen to work
out the logistics. 
 
I hope that's doable. Let me know if you have any questions, concerns or
need more info.

I wonder if we need a terminal server? I hope we can run it without that
but if its needed and Glen will host it, I can look for one (probably
need to buy it :-(.
 
Lastly, we need to pick a domain name. Root name is one of these:
totaluruguay.com, venango.org or olpcuruguay.com. We can pick a third
level name.

Yama,

Can you pick a good name that will resonate with kids in Uruguay? Also,
does EduBlog sound good in Spanish and can kids say it easily? We can
call it the code name but once you use a name it sticks so if needed, we
should change it now and only once.
 
BTW please use greg at laptop.org for me as of Wed. June 18th. I'll
subscribe that to the list so you can reach via server-devel too.
 
Thanks,
 
Greg Smith
