Every season we try to meet for as much as a week of face-to-face design and hacking. During these quarterly sprints (so far all hosted in the northern hemisphere) we work like crazy to get our features complete, so they are ready to make the feature freeze happening just after the sprint. All are welcome in our community, of course if you are the sort that likes to stand on a soapbox and preach, we may ask you to take a turn in the kitchen ;)


Code & issue tracking transitioned from https://github.com/xsce/xsce to https://github.com/iiab/iiab in May 2017.
We welcome [http://www.theopensourceway.org/wiki/Introduction open community tools] of diverse kinds, to support contributors of all kind. Please join our IRC live chat [http://webchat.freenode.net/ directly on the web] by entering channel '''#schoolserver'''. Or if you prefer, any IRC chat software can be connected to '''irc.freenode.net''' to join this same channel. A Meetbot instance logs the channel '''strictly''' only during meetings (currently being held on Tuesdays at 1600 UTC / 1200 EDT), more info in the [[#Chat Guidelines]] section below.


Our '''[[/FAQ#What_technical_documentation_exists.3F|technical documentation]]''' has made great strides since 2017, please let us know what else is needed!
Our primary mailing list is [http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel server-devel@lists.laptop.org]. Teachers and new contributors especially, are strongly encouraged to ask questions! Please also get to know http://internet-in-a-box.org join the [http://mail.archive.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pathagar Pathagar mailing list] if you're interested in digital libraries for curious kids worldwide, whose schools so often (1) lack broadband (2) are unable to afford pay-per-view ebooks (3) are wary of advertising/manipulation of our youngest citizens.


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.
Education is inherently political: how can we each invest our lives nurturing the most meaningful learning communities in the face of self-interested governments/corporations/unions/religions, each trying to help, but also dominate? As such please consider our ~50 person "xsce-devel" Google Group, where all contributors are invited to join in thoughtful discussion, by sending a short paragraph about your experience and XSCE-related ambitions (holt @ laptop.org). Implementation conversations on civic learning realities are sorely needed at every level, but reality check: [http://planet.laptop.org OLPC's long history] makes clear that humanitarian policymaking is not always best served by "e-male" posturing traditions on open source mailing lists.

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 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.

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:
