[Server-devel] Adding puppet to the school server.

[David Farning]

Hey all,

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that Activity Central [1] is
going to start working on a Dextrose Server project.  For a little
background, Dextrose [2] is Activity Central's primary product.
Dextrose is based on upstream OLPC OS and Sugar.  Most of what we do
is a is a patch set on top of OLPC's repositories.  These patches are
submitted upstream for acceptance or rejection.  The primary benefit
of this is that it changes the emphasis of the development model from
discussing how fixes or features _should_ be implemented to reviewing
how a patch _solved_ a particular problem.

Our initial effort will be to create puppet modules to enable
deployments to remotely maintain and configure school servers.
