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.

School server is the machine controlling class servers in each school, so there will be one school server per school. Like class servers, it also has Moodle on it, but somewhat different from that on class server; it provides adminstrative functions necessary to manage schools.

Among class servers and/or school server, WiMax will be used to link each other.

Settings and codes for school servers are described below.

recommend you to visit School server before reading the sections below.

There are more than 30,000 educational facilities in Korea, and OLPC Korea hope to distribute more than one School server to those facilities.

The role and content of each School Server will be presented in sections below.

Governmental server

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.

Business server

According to the vision of the Korean Government, integrating national-wide information resources in five(10) years, we extended school server architecture to business areas also, based on UNSPSC (United Nations' Service & Product Standard Classification).

XO Korea expects to distribute about 100,000 Business Servers in Korea, each performing a server for providing each business service or manufacturing products.
