XS Community Edition/5.0/Sprint
This IIAB XSCE content does not reflect the opinion of OLPC. These pages were created by members of a volunteer community supporting OLPC and deployments.
Autumn 2013 at last, to celebrate our 1-year anniversary creating community school servers, and our halfway point to v1.0, as we announce a doubleheader design & hack sprints over October and November!
XS(CE) Sprint Part 1: SF Crystallization
It's intensely exciting to see people from So Many countries (confirmed Oct 21-23) in or near San Francisco ("Community Summit") and then also Malaysia ("OLPC 2.0 -- the next journey") a month later! For starters, following SF's summit (Oct 18-20), and immediately preceding the Internet Archive's great Books in Browsers Summit of Oct 24-25, we will be meeting in downtown San Francisco here:
Venue
Wifi and electricity will be provided. However, bring your own power strips/bar and extension cords. We are meeting just over 2 blocks south of the "Civic Center/UN Plaza" BART subway stop:
San Francisco Nonprofit Technology Center 1370 Mission St San Francisco, CA 94103 415-839-6456 http://sftechcenter.org/free-meeting-space/ http://sftechcenter.org/location/
Time
The room holds a maximum of 10 people so it's essential that everyone RSVP, to get the access code to the building etc. Please give us a shout on server-devel@lists.laptop.org and get to know us quick on channel #schoolserver (that's on http://webchat.freenode.net) if you'd like to attend and contribute, thanks!
Mon Oct 21st 12 Noon - 10 PM Tue Oct 22nd 10 AM - 10 PM Wed Oct 23rd 10 AM - 6 PM

XS(CE) Sprint Part 2: Malaysia Culmination
http://wiki.laptop.org/images/thumb/a/ac/Olpcbasecamp2013.mission.jpg/749px-Olpcbasecamp2013.mission.jpg
Immediately following OLPC basecamp's weekend retreat, our sprint will be Nov 18-20 in Malacca, Malaysia bringing a powerful new face to the OLPC community movement. This follows in the footsteps of the wonderfully inderdisciplinary OLPC Basecamp 2013 (Nov 14/16 to 18), a continent-wide 100% community meeting, whose enlivening blog brings to light the breathtaking vitality behind our generation's epic humanitarian commitment.
Full details of the sprint will be announced soon in coming weeks, centered around XS(CE) but also much more!
We (devotees to digital/progressive learning of all kind, open invitation) can also join Thursday Nov 14 for the Malaysia dLEAP pre-deployment field visit, and Friday Nov 15 to get to know the historic community of Malacca itself! Finally, as the summit wraps up Monday Nov 18, the hack sprint itself will begin --- concluding on Wednesday November 20.
Those who join both above events in SF and Malaysia, will Truly Deserve their spots in the OLPC history books, when our full story is eventually written for the ages!
Malaysia Agenda
Establish & refine XSCE's 0.6 Spec based on the many proposed new features in the table that emerged from October 2013's San Francisco Sprint.
