Welcome to '''[http://internet-in-a-box.org Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB)]''' which is a global community of volunteer professionals taking the [http://UnleashKids.org One Laptop per Child movement] into a new decade, enabling quality learning among the world's poorest children. ''Note that we officially renamed from XSCE (School Server Community Edition) to IIAB (Internet-in-a-Box) in 2017.''
=Vision=


Please listen to the '''[https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3cszv1s 23min BBC podcast "How to put the internet in a box"]''' from 2020-10-20 ! Consider also see our [https://web.archive.org/web/20170923172535/http://xsce.org/ summary origins], and Don Watkins' [https://opensource.com/article/17/5/internet-in-a-box-raspberry-pi May 2017 article at opensource.com] and check out our [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0cBGCxr_WPBPa3IqPVEe3g YouTube channel].
Below is a very rough 2nd draft starting point for discussion. [[User:Holt/XS_Community_Edition/Vision_Notes | Vision notes]] will contain a more full list of ideas.


The original California-based Internet-in-a-Box (founded by Braddock Gaskill) has been our [http://people.sugarlabs.org/~icarito/newsletter_sugarlabs/ProofSLNewsP4.psf.pdf close] [http://people.sugarlabs.org/~icarito/newsletter_sugarlabs/ProofSLNewsP5.psf.pdf partner] in making Free content as rich as possible, for all, in [http://olpcMAP.net more than twenty countries] since 2014.
==3 year vision: emergent learning models==


Internet-in-a-Box is also being used for medical education, as can be seen in this '''[http://youtu.be/xI3Ed008Mxo Dominican Republic video]'''.
The school server has the potential to amplify the Teacher, Parent & Librarian, as a laptop can amplify a Student's potential:


In August 2017, we helped run the http://OFF.NETWORK hackathon, bringing together many organizations [https://blog.learningequality.org/hacking-solutions-for-offline-access-eccbfe7fd910 nurturing quality offline content for all].
1. Strengthen connectivity to global Internet.


''Contributors of all kind are invited to '''[[/FAQ#How_can_I_help.3F|contribute your talents]]''' to kids and schools and libraries worldwide, making their learning more meaningful in any way you can!''
2. Deepen collaboration between Students, Teachers & Mentors.


Professional/Commercial support for our free software is available for those who need it, via freelance consultants as necessary. Contact holt @ unleashkids.org if you need to get to know your choices here.
3. Promote quality content from all.


= Our FAQ =
4. Strength ecosystem of diverse contributors.


Global community volunteers keep our<!-- [http://IIAB.io Forums] and--> '''[[/FAQ|Frequently Asked Questions]]''' (and answers!) fresh thanks to organic input from folks just like yourself, <i>always welcome!</i>
==1 year vision: seed community architecture==


= Our Product =
The school server project will be a healthy standalone project, which can be implemented directly, or adapted for special situations by 3rd parties.
Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB) provides rich content and reliable communication to schools, libraries and classrooms. In everyday usage, a well-designed school server brings laptop/tablet collaboration to life, to [[XS_Community_Edition/Vision|bring kids the very best]] learning opportunities imaginable:


* Content – bring the best [[/FAQ#What_can_I_do_with_E-books_and_Internet-in-a-Box.3F|educational media]] available to your kids and teachers.
1. 100 hack implementers, at least 4 deployments with the potential for 10,000 users.
* Classroom connectivity – install quickly like a home Wi-Fi router, or extend it across your school.
* Internet gateway – control Internet costs with laptop/device policies you choose.
* Maintenance – manage laptop/device auto-updates, so teachers can focus on teaching.


'''Get started by downloading and installing the latest, with our official [https://github.com/iiab/iiab/wiki/IIAB-Installation Install Doc]. Raspberry Pi fans and Ubuntu 20.04 / Debian 10 users should try out our [http://download.iiab.io/ IIAB 7.2 pre-release 1-line installer].

==0.2 Objectives [[User:Holt/XS_Community_Edition/0.2 | 0.2 Draft]]==


[[XS_Community_Edition/6.1|XSCE 6.1]] was [http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/server-devel/2016-September/007961.html released] September 22, 2016, including Calibre, WordPress, DokuWiki, Sugarizer and CUPS.
1. Build on self-disipline learned in 0.1


[[XS_Community_Edition/6.0|XSCE 6.0]] was [http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/server-devel/2016-March/007854.html released] March 27, 2016, following our [[XS_Community_Edition/6.0/Sprint | Toronto Summit]], including [[XS_Community_Edition/Features|many new features]] for educators and administrators. For example [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elgg_%28software%29 Elgg] for students and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nextcloud Nextcloud] for teachers, as tested in Malaysia starting March 2015. Downloadable images for different OS's are increasingly available (e.g. on [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/unleashkids/N9BwwuG3hXU CentOS 7.2+] for larger servers) but [http://groups.google.com/group/unleashkids drop us a line] if you need assistance.
2. Initial modularity. I.E. must deal with different hardware configurations at install time.


Earlier, [[XS_Community_Edition/5.1|XSCE 5.1]] was released July 27, 2014.

Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB) is a community-based project developed and supported by volunteers around the world.
==0.3+ Objectives (Need to sort out between 0.3 and 0.4+)==


Our heartbeat is weekly calls, typically Thursdays 10:00AM NYC Time, and a 24hr live chat channel described further below. See the '''[http://minutes.iiab.io Agenda/Minutes]''' for a history of past topics or to add to this week's agenda. Please email [[User:Holt|Adam Holt]] (holt @ unleashkids.org) to coordinate adding you to the call!
1. Targeted Features/Objectives


Code & issue tracking transitioned from https://github.com/xsce/xsce to https://github.com/iiab/iiab in May 2017.
* '''Modularity'''
* '''GUI'''
* XO-4, F18 support
* XO-1.5 support (get around the kernel usb-ethernet dongle bug)
* External USB disk
* 1 to N webdav
* XSCE on XO image
* Working with 2 Ethernet dongles
* ejabberd roster admin
* Stastics collection (sugar-client stuff)
* dansguardian
* DNS filtering
* Script to connect to OPENVPN
* Consideration of other devices (Android, Kindle, iPods, iPads)


Our '''[[/FAQ#What_technical_documentation_exists.3F|technical documentation]]''' has made great strides since 2017, please let us know what else is needed!
2. Content services


Several times per year we try to meet face-to-face, for a week or weekend of design/hacking. During these sprints (so far all hosted in the northern hemisphere) we drive for consensus designs, work like crazy to prove the core is deliverable, towards a feature freeze soon after the sprint.
* Pathagar
* Moodle
* Khan Academy
* Mediawiki
* Content curation (beyond '''dumping''' stuff into Apache directories)


For August 2017 we've organizing the http://OFF.NETWORK Content Hackathon in conjunction with Wikimania 2017 in Montreal. We try hard to welcome all: but of course if you're the sort that stands on a soapbox to preach, we may ask you to take a turn in the kitchen ;)
3. "Feedback, fix, finished product" among a dozen testers, doggone dogfooding.


We always welcome [http://www.theopensourceway.org/wiki/Introduction open community tools], supporting very diverse contributors and education systems from different parts of the world. Please explore our '''[http://IIAB.io Forums!]'''
==Getting Started==


You can also join our 24x7 IRC live chat [https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#schoolserver directly on the web] by entering channel '''#schoolserver''' (or, any IRC chat software can be connected to '''irc.freenode.net''' to join this same channel). If your Internet connection is intermittent and you need an intermediary computer (AKA irc bouncer) to connect to irc for you, please contact us and consider [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LofncyUS90gO8DFgDJZKLf2DPnEUlJe0MVoa5-i7L8A/edit these instructions].
'''[[User:Holt/XS_Community_Edition/0.2/Getting_Started | Get Started Using]] (advanced administrators)'''


Our primary mailing lists are [http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel server-devel@lists.laptop.org] for software/hardware engineering and [http://groups.google.com/group/unleashkids unleashkids@googlegroups.com] for educators and implementers. New contributors of all kind are strongly encouraged!
'''[[User:Holt/XS_Community_Edition/0.2/Hacking | Get Started Hacking]] (developers wanting to contribute)'''


In 2017, we aim for renewed support for community-managed digital libraries, including [https://calibre-ebook.com/ Calibre] and/or [http://mail.archive.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pathagar Pathagar].
'''[[User:Holt/XS_Community_Edition/Documentation/FAQ | Frequently Asked Questions]] (FAQ)'''


We all try hard not to lose sight of the struggle surrounding the world's poorest schools, which (1) lack broadband (2) are unable to afford pay-per-view ebooks, and (3) are wary of advertising/manipulation of our youngest citizens.
==Participating==


Education is inherently political: how can we each invest our lives nurturing the most meaningful learning opportunities/communities in the face of well-meaning governments/corporations/unions/religions so often adrift?
Direct questions/comments to mailing list: http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel


As such please consider our 85-person "xsce-devel" Google Group, where all contributors are invited to join in non-published discussion: to join please just send a short note about your school/server/experience/ambitions to holt @ laptop.org. (Implementation conversations on civic learning realities are sorely needed at every level, but with a reality check: [http://planet.laptop.org OLPC's long history] makes clear that humanitarian action is rarely served by "e-male" posturing traditions inherent to so many mailing lists. Field educators are far too busy for another self-indulgent flame war.)
Report bugs and feature requests to https://sugardextrose.org/projects/xs-config


As such we seek a more friendly balance, by including more educators' and female voices, in an [https://www.theopensourceway.org/wiki/Communities_of_practice#Develop_both_public_and_private_community_spaces invigorating & organic interplay between public/posterity spaces and more intimate/offline engagement!]

Welcome to Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB) which is a global community of volunteer professionals taking the One Laptop per Child movement into a new decade, enabling quality learning among the world's poorest children. Note that we officially renamed from XSCE (School Server Community Edition) to IIAB (Internet-in-a-Box) in 2017.

Please listen to the 23min BBC podcast "How to put the internet in a box" from 2020-10-20 ! Consider also see our summary origins, and Don Watkins' May 2017 article at opensource.com and check out our YouTube channel.

The original California-based Internet-in-a-Box (founded by Braddock Gaskill) has been our close partner in making Free content as rich as possible, for all, in more than twenty countries since 2014.

Internet-in-a-Box is also being used for medical education, as can be seen in this Dominican Republic video.

In August 2017, we helped run the http://OFF.NETWORK hackathon, bringing together many organizations nurturing quality offline content for all.

Contributors of all kind are invited to contribute your talents to kids and schools and libraries worldwide, making their learning more meaningful in any way you can!

Professional/Commercial support for our free software is available for those who need it, via freelance consultants as necessary. Contact holt @ unleashkids.org if you need to get to know your choices here.

Our FAQ

Global community volunteers keep our Frequently Asked Questions (and answers!) fresh thanks to organic input from folks just like yourself, always welcome!

Our Product

Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB) provides rich content and reliable communication to schools, libraries and classrooms. In everyday usage, a well-designed school server brings laptop/tablet collaboration to life, to bring kids the very best learning opportunities imaginable:

  • Content – bring the best educational media available to your kids and teachers.
  • Classroom connectivity – install quickly like a home Wi-Fi router, or extend it across your school.
  • Internet gateway – control Internet costs with laptop/device policies you choose.
  • Maintenance – manage laptop/device auto-updates, so teachers can focus on teaching.

Get started by downloading and installing the latest, with our official Install Doc. Raspberry Pi fans and Ubuntu 20.04 / Debian 10 users should try out our IIAB 7.2 pre-release 1-line installer. All consider a Quick Install, to install the best open learning content you need, and please give us input on which directions IIAB 7.2 should head!

IIAB 7.1 was released June 6, 2020, with Release Notes here.

IIAB 7.0 was released September 30, 2019, with Release Notes here.

IIAB 6.7 was released February 21, 2019, with Release Notes here.

IIAB 6.6 was released September 12, 2018, with Release Notes here.

IIAB 6.5 was released May 24, 2018, with Release Notes here.

IIAB 6.4 was released October 5, 2017, with Release Notes here.

IIAB 6.3 was released July 13, 2017, with Release Notes here.

IIAB/XSCE 6.2 was released April 19, 2017, with Release Notes here.

XSCE 6.1 was released September 22, 2016, including Calibre, WordPress, DokuWiki, Sugarizer and CUPS.

XSCE 6.0 was released March 27, 2016, following our Toronto Summit, including many new features for educators and administrators. For example Elgg for students and Nextcloud for teachers, as tested in Malaysia starting March 2015. Downloadable images for different OS's are increasingly available (e.g. on CentOS 7.2+ for larger servers) but drop us a line if you need assistance.

Earlier, XSCE 5.1 was released July 27, 2014. Read the full announcement and release notes to learn about its capabilities. The list is impressive: Samba filesharing, XOVis visualization of student work patterns, vnStat traffic-monitoring console, better Internet-in-a-Box searchability, customizable web-filtering requested by many schools, OpenVPN remote access, and a new module for automated field-testing. XSCE 5.0 was released Jan 22, 2014 introducing ansible progress for developers especially (announcement). XSCE 5.0 RC 1 was released Dec 17, 2013, formerly known as 0.5 RC 1, and XSCE 0.4 on Oct 3, 2013.

Our Project

Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB) is a community-based project developed and supported by volunteers around the world.

Our heartbeat is weekly calls, typically Thursdays 10:00AM NYC Time, and a 24hr live chat channel described further below. See the Agenda/Minutes for a history of past topics or to add to this week's agenda. Please email Adam Holt (holt @ unleashkids.org) to coordinate adding you to the call!

Code & issue tracking transitioned from https://github.com/xsce/xsce to https://github.com/iiab/iiab in May 2017.

Our technical documentation has made great strides since 2017, please let us know what else is needed!

Several times per year we try to meet face-to-face, for a week or weekend of design/hacking. During these sprints (so far all hosted in the northern hemisphere) we drive for consensus designs, work like crazy to prove the core is deliverable, towards a feature freeze soon after the sprint.

For August 2017 we've organizing the http://OFF.NETWORK Content Hackathon in conjunction with Wikimania 2017 in Montreal. We try hard to welcome all: but of course if you're the sort that stands on a soapbox to preach, we may ask you to take a turn in the kitchen ;)

We always welcome open community tools, supporting very diverse contributors and education systems from different parts of the world. Please explore our Forums!

You can also join our 24x7 IRC live chat directly on the web by entering channel #schoolserver (or, any IRC chat software can be connected to irc.freenode.net to join this same channel). If your Internet connection is intermittent and you need an intermediary computer (AKA irc bouncer) to connect to irc for you, please contact us and consider these instructions.

Our primary mailing lists are server-devel@lists.laptop.org for software/hardware engineering and unleashkids@googlegroups.com for educators and implementers. New contributors of all kind are strongly encouraged!

In 2017, we aim for renewed support for community-managed digital libraries, including Calibre and/or Pathagar.

We all try hard not to lose sight of the struggle surrounding the world's poorest schools, which (1) lack broadband (2) are unable to afford pay-per-view ebooks, and (3) are wary of advertising/manipulation of our youngest citizens.

Education is inherently political: how can we each invest our lives nurturing the most meaningful learning opportunities/communities in the face of well-meaning governments/corporations/unions/religions so often adrift?

As such please consider our 85-person "xsce-devel" Google Group, where all contributors are invited to join in non-published discussion: to join please just send a short note about your school/server/experience/ambitions to holt @ laptop.org. (Implementation conversations on civic learning realities are sorely needed at every level, but with a reality check: OLPC's long history makes clear that humanitarian action is rarely served by "e-male" posturing traditions inherent to so many mailing lists. Field educators are far too busy for another self-indulgent flame war.)

As such we seek a more friendly balance, by including more educators' and female voices, in an invigorating & organic interplay between public/posterity spaces and more intimate/offline engagement!

Our Ecosystem

School Servers come in many forms, from tiny offline digital libraries to giant LMS (learning management systems). Here are some of the better known approaches, for developing world communities:

Our community is made up of people just like you. If you are interested in the project please reach out:
