[Toronto-dev] School Server Hack Sprint (Feb 7-11, Toronto)

[Rodrigo Greselle Hartmann]

I'll be there, but I'll be late - I leave work at 17h30.

As soon as I log in, I'll ring you on skype.

 Plz join 6PM Toronto/NYC time if you care about conscientious organic
productizing of school servers for Sugar, XOs and eventually beyond, thanks!

Eight of us just outside Toronto would love to hear others' thoughts on
strategic direction for deployments {small, medium, large} if you can join
tonight's voice (Skype) call!

 All plz join if you care to contribute!  During our Toronto-area sprint (
http://schoolserver.org) we'll also have 2 open calls:

    Thur Feb 7th, 6PM (Toronto/NYC time)
    Sat Feb 9th, 6PM (Toronto/NYC time)

Core XS Community Edition progress/testing, on XO-1.5 and XO-1.75
especially, will be central to all calls.

Extended services may also be discussed: big iron, backup/restore, WebDAV,
squid proxy/cache, Puppet/pdsh upgrading/administration, pathagar
bookserver, DansGuardian web-filtering, Moodle LMS, promising content
communities, LocalFi.org, Sugar Network, relevant Raspberry Pi vectors etc.

And yes: navigating lofty learning dreams vs. global/enterprise educational
requirements, large and small.

Send your Skype username in advance (and a bit about yourself if you're
new) to join the discussion, thanks!

Thanks all as we're approaching capacity with about 5 Americans and 5
Canadians RSVP'd!  (but if you have more exotic citizenship+passports we'll
certainly make a place for you, don't worry, contact me soon regardless =)

Strategy? Our meeting will focus on a shippable/solid school server (SSSS)
serving large deployments as well as community schools. No matter how close
we get to painfree network-configuration. Even if much-desired features
from the following list don't all ship in the end:

"21st century civil rights movement" over much of December...
