olpc-os-builder or OS Builder is a utility that allows you to build OS images for XO-1 and XO-1.5 laptops, including various customizations.

Starting in December 2009, it is the build tool used to produce official OLPC OS releases.

This utility makes it easy for you to replicate the OLPC OS build, as well as allowing you to make your own customizations, using a different set of activities, and so on.
