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.

The School Server provides a complete IT infrastructure for schools and classrooms. It can be deployed quickly and cost effectively without the need for highly skilled administrators.

The school server offers the following capabilities:

  • It enables the management of hardware such as laptops and tablets and provides all the networking necessary within the school
  • It enables the management and distribution of software & content in a school.

Get Started

Download and install the latest from XSCE 0.4 Release Candidate 1 was released August 24, 2013.

Or consider the earlier full release at XSCE 0.3 released June 6, 2013.

Get Started Quickly :)

If you are anything like me, you are already losing interest in lofty, often jumbled, and ambustion prose of the wiki. If so, please jump to the Frequently Asked Questions (and answers!) from our global community.

Volunteer contributors keep our FAQ fresh thanks to organic input from folks just like yourself, always welcome!

Us

For more information about getting involved in the project please see Getting Involved. You can add your name to the People Page.

Now's the time to bring together the upcoming XSCE 0.4 version, with our July 8-12 Hack Sprint near Winnipeg in Canada, and final release expected in September 2013.

Do try some of the latest RPM builds, at your own risk of course: http://xsce.activitycentral.com/repos/xsce/devel.

Or you can use the repo definition http://xsce.activitycentral.com/repos/xsce-devel.repo.

Learn more about the long term goals at XSCE Vision.

Learn more about our history at XSCE History.

Our Ecosystem

The School Server Community Edition (XSCE, or http://schoolserver.org) is a global project where volunteer professionals are taking the One Laptop per Child movement into a new decade, enabling quality learning among the world's poorest children. Commercial support for our free software is available for those who need it, at Activity Central and through freelance consultants as necessary. Most important, you're invited to contribute your talents to kids' schools worldwide, in any way you find meaningful!

There are hundreds of similar projects around the world. Each work from slightly different perspectives. If you are interested in the project... but don't quite 'feel it,' please consider one of the following projects.
