<br>
- Deployments-<br>
<br>
1. Bhagmalpur, India - <a href="http://bhagmalpur.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">http://bhagmalpur.wordpress.com/</a> . The update<br>
to XSCE is complete in Bhagmalpur. It will be interesting to see what<br>
Sameer concluded based on the statistics generation system. -- Thanks<br>
Sameer and Anish<br>
<br>
2. Haiti - <a href="http://haitidreams.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">http://haitidreams.wordpress.com/</a> . Haiti was the first<br>
'real world test' for XSCE started a couple of months ago. Many of the<br>
ideas for XSCE come from George's and Adam's experiences maintaining<br>
the deployment. -- Thanks George and Adam<br>
<br>
3. OLPC Australia - <a href="https://www.laptop.org.au/" target="_blank">https://www.laptop.org.au/</a> . Much of the planning<br>
for XSCE comes from the experience of Jerry, the lead developer of<br>
OLPC AU. Jerry lives in Canada while maintaining a 5000 unit<br>
deployment which is is the process of expanding to 50,000 XO4s. --<br>
Thanks Jerry<br>
<br>
4. Solomon Islands - <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Solomon_Islands" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Solomon_Islands</a> .<br>
Working with David has been a great help to the project. For the past<br>
couple of weeks, David has been asking a series of questions about<br>
testing and deploying XSCE in the Solomon Islands. Many of the<br>
questions involve working in a low bandwidth environment. We hope we<br>
learn from his questions and can create something which meets his<br>
needs. -- Thanks David<br>
<br>
5. Dominican Republic - <a href="http://olpcdr.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">http://olpcdr.wordpress.com/</a> . Last week<br>
Ruben, from OLPC-A, joined the #schoolserver mailing list to ask some<br>
questions about deploying XSCE in the Dominican Republic. I hope this<br>
is a sign of growing cooperation between OLPC-A and XSCE. -- Thanks<br>
Ruben<br>

-Development -<br>
<br>
Santiago started using our new gIt workflow as documented at<br>
<a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Holt/XS_Community_Edition/0.4/Hacking" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Holt/XS_Community_Edition/0.4/Hacking</a> .<br>
<br>
We hope the recent modularization and the new workflow will make it<br>
easier for deployment to upstream their hard work with needing to<br>
understand the entire system. If you are interested in tracking<br>
progress please see <a href="https://sugardextrose.org/projects/xsce/repository" target="_blank">https://sugardextrose.org/projects/xsce/repository</a><br>
. -- Thanks Santi, Tim, George<br>

- What does the SchoolServer Serve? :) -<br>
<br>
For a general overview of the School Server please see<br>
<a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Holt/XS_Community_Edition" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Holt/XS_Community_Edition</a> .<br>
<br>
More specifically, a number of existing projects are working with XSCE<br>
to provide their content. XSCE's plug in design allow these projects<br>
to easily prepare their project for inclusion in XSCE<br>
<br>
1. Internet in a Box - <a href="http://internet-in-a-box.org/" target="_blank">http://internet-in-a-box.org/</a> . It looks like<br>
IIAB will ship as an add on with 0.4 in Sept. -- Thanks Braddock<br>
<br>
2. Pathagar. - <a href="https://github.com/PathagarBooks/pathagar" target="_blank">https://github.com/PathagarBooks/pathagar</a> . Pathagar is<br>
a simple book server for making custom libraries available to<br>
deployments. Pathagar is interesting because it allow curators to use<br>
widely available, cross platform tools such as<br>
<a href="http://calibre-ebook.com/" target="_blank">http://calibre-ebook.com/</a> to maintain those libraries. -- Thanks Seth<br>
<br>
As always, please help us met your deployment or project's needs.<br>
