This workshop is aimed at a small group of technical personnel -- normally not more than 7. It is expected that the participants will have at skills in planning, Linux systems administration, and computer hardware repairs.

For the workshop we will use

  • Internet access (unrestricted, as we'll access non-standard services and ports)
  • A few XO computers -- ideally at least one per participant, unlocked/devkeyed.
  • A server to be installed as test XS (matching the HW configuration planned for the XS)
  • Access Point (matching HW configuration for the APs to be deployed)
  • Network switch, network cables -- to be used with the XS in the test network
  • Blackboard / Whiteboard
  • Projector
