SOAS Deployement Settings Definition
In case of a deploy in a school we could not expect children or teacher to spend a large initial amount of time to set up basic paramenters for SOAS usage (es. LANGUAGE, Timezone, Keyboard). Whatever approach would be taken in order to land those initial dsettings in the sticks/images, the very first step is to try ti define with increasing precision what all those settings are, where a deployer or developer could find them and how to operate changes without creating regression errors in the procedure. In order to support deployements activities the standard SOAS image shuld allow a limited degree of personalization for basic settings,. A basic list of setting to be descripted could be taken from http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/index.php?title=Request_New_Feature :
- Date, Time & Timezone
- Language
- User Accounts
- WiFi settings
- Jabber server(s).
- Add/Remove Programs
- System Updates
- Desktop GUI settings
- Name SD card and USB media drives, etc.
- What else?

SOAS Deployement Settings Table
- A draft table could be the following:
| Description | What | Where | How | Complexity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Language | LANGUAGE and LANG environment variables | conf file, login/boot scripts | .... | easy (must be!) |
| Timezone | Environment that define timezone | login/boot scripts | .... | easy (must be!)
|
| Jabber Server(s) | addres of jabber server for the school/class | conf file? | ...... | |
| WiFi settings | in case of proxy, passwords needed | conf file? | ..... | |
| Activity selection or preferred list reworked (added to default set) | Journal | tbd | ||
| User account | parameters | conf file ? | schoolclass info to be added (?) |
