Current Situation:<br><br>1. <a href="http://Jabber.sugarlabs.org">Jabber.sugarlabs.org</a> is down.<br>2. <a href="http://schoolserver.solutiongrove.com">schoolserver.solutiongrove.com</a> is up.<br>3. People trying out SoaS need to be able to try out collaboration features<br>
4. Current SoaS images are preconfigured to connect to <a href="http://jabber.sugarlabs.org">jabber.sugarlabs.org</a> <br><br>Collaboration is not currently scalable to lots of users because:<br>1. The Jabber server eats memory as you add to the shared roaster<br>
2. The neighborhood view will become too cluttered.<br>3. Other bugs appear to exist.<br>4. "lots of users" does not seem to clearly defined right now.<br><br>We have two, not necessarily mutually exclusive, ways to solving this problem under development.<br>
<br>1. Have Moodle class membership control who you collaborate with.<br>2. Have Gadget control who you collaborate work randomly and by using your friends list<br><br>Neither of these seem to have a proven implementation ready to go right now.<br>
<br>The good news is FOSSVT isn't all that big. They are expecting about 80 people. We don't know how good the Wifi will be but realistically we don't expect that many people to be able to get on at once. Solution Grove can also throw a whole bunch of RAM at the problem for April 10th.<br>
<br>So what I'd like to do is between now and April 10th:<br>1. Redirect <a href="http://jabber.sugarlabs.org">jabber.sugarlabs.org</a> to <a href="http://schoolserver.solutiongrove.com">schoolserver.solutiongrove.com</a><br>
2. Solution Grove will *not* try to get Gadget or Moodle to work between now and April 10th, we'll focus on trying to get the known to work configuration stable for April 10th.<br>3. Make a new DNS entry pointing to the sugarlabs server like <a href="http://jabtest.sugarlabs.org">jabtest.sugarlabs.org</a> so Sugar Labs people can keep working on Gadget implementation.<br>
<br>Basically we need something that works now. It seems to me that Gadget is still in development and that Gadget development should not be on the same jabber server that we are pointing our potential customers towards for demo purposes.<br>
<br>This is temporary to get us though this period where people are demoing SoaS.<br><br>Thoughts?<br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Caroline Meeks<br>Solution Grove<br>Caroline@SolutionGrove.com<br><br>617-500-3488 - Office<br>
