The Dutch foundation is managing small OLPC pilots in 10 different
countries.<br>

Bitfrost would be very usefull but we could never find actual
information about Bitfrost, only old information like the first link
hereunder.<br>
<b>Does Bitfrost really excist on the XO or not?</b><br>
Or only on XO's in large deployments?<br>
<br>
in Senegal we used the XS schoolserver for the first time, it just
started a month ago<br>
<b>With Moodle you can easily see what the children do with learning
material in Moodle, privacy is not a problem in this way</b><br>
<br>
We discussed about the XS at TEDx in Brussels, with OLPC France
members, Christoph Derndorfer and Frederik Questier of the Vrije
Universiteit Brussel<br>
The idea of the XS is very nice although we, and OLPC France, had a
lot of problems with installing it<br>
It works nice on a cheap PC (we were lucky?) as a server, although
the manual is far from complete and the scripts are not always
logical<br>
If you want an affordable but professional server with Raid 1 it was
not yet possible for us to install it.<br>
Maybe it is better to use an universal Linux server protocol and
write some scripts for the features we need?<br>
<b>Not to produce a better XS schoolserver but an Open Schoolserver
for universal use?</b> (an idea of Frederik Questier)<br>
<br>
<b>Moodle is not easy for people who use an electronic learning
environment for the first time.</b><br>
Although our foundation offers also Moodle most of our clients
choose Chamilo (former known as Dokeos) when they tested both
systems.<br>
In a commercial view not nice for us because most of them don't need
training to use it :(<br>
And that's a big compliment for Chamilo.<br>
<b>Chamilo 2.0</b> will be even better, completely redesigned.<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.chamilo.org/en/news/Chamilo%202.0%20beta%202%2C%20now%20available%20for%20download">http://www.chamilo.org/en/news/Chamilo%202.0%20beta%202%2C%20now%20available%20for%20download</a>!<br>
It would be nice to start a discussion with a test about this.<br>
<br>
If we would like to have also Chamilo on the Open Schoolserver the
head developer Yannick Warnier is willing to give a lot of support
to do this.<br>
<br>
with kind regards,<br>

That would be the exact opposite of great and it's something Bitfrost
intends to protect against [1,2]. The Journal is called thus for a
reason: It records _everything_ the user did on the system (within
Sugar, that is) and not just school-related work. If Journal entries
are to be published, it needs to be on an opt-in basis, not opt-out.
There has been some experimental work [3] to allow others to access
your Journal (and a way to choose a license [4] for each entry), but
nothing actually usable so far (AFAIK at least).
