Introduction

Because the IT infra of South Korea is quite well established compared to developing nations, it's rather easy for any OLPC (or its derivatives) to connect to the Internet regardless of their locations. However, we expect those 20,000,000+ OLPC and its derivative machines can establish a national-wide mesh network themselves. Therefore, there are two routes for each OLPC (or its derivative machine) to connect another, one via the current information highway of South Korea and the other via Korean Mesh Network, composed of more than 20,000,000 machines.

School server & its derivatives

Because schools (even kindergartens also) in South Korea are all connected to the Internet now and provided of stable electricity 24hrs/365days, composing a network (stand-alone or not) is quite easy.

However, because we hope school servers to connect to (an)other school servers directly with or without using current cable networks, and because we hope OLPC and its derivatives be supplied to not only schools but other organizations also, we also make some derivatives of school servers suggested by the OLPC foundation.

There will be various types of servers in South Korea, ranging from a server for only one person to that for 1,000 persons.

It's a derivative of school server for governmental organizations. See List of governmental organizations in South Korea].

Our approach to governmental servers is function-oriented. As the Korean government already classified its services (or functions) into about 60,000 governmental functions (total level 1~6, only level 1~3 are publicized. A category is sum of a few computational functions), we are making the repository of those 60,000 governmental service functions. So, the governmental server of any department or organization will be a collection of a few governmental functions, and a governmental functions also is a collection of a few computational functions (may or may not be written in Python).

As XO Korea already reclassified the 65,000 governmental functions into 3,000+ core functions, each governmental server will provide each of those 3,000+ governmental function.
