Deployment Platform/1.0/Todo

1.0

Initial coding of core components

• sugar-server
• sugar-server-base
• mace

Need to be polished though (see the rest of TODO).

Patch OBS

• produce binary packages with sugar-server, mace and sugar-server-base for Fedora-11
  alsroot 19:46, 9 June 2011 (EDT)
• (?) Create images on OBS for Fedora

Prosody

• improve mod_sugar_roaster plugin to share the same memory structure of sugar roaster among all buddies
• stress test it, up to 1K users

Sugar code is here, http://git.sugarlabs.org/server/prosody

Content filter

Need to decide what content filter software configuration will be included to sugar-server-base.

Options are:

• Dans Guardian (MinD fork, since it provide proxy-less mode that might be useful if some deployment don't need proxy)
• SquidCache
• OpenDNS
• ?

Thoughts:

• Dans Guardian's site declares that it is faster then SquidCache but publication date is too old
• Dans Guardian's MinD for is promising option, it support proxy-less mode and has recent activity (in comparing with Dans Guardian)
• OpenDNS way might be useful, i.e., having such server on the mothership and point all school servers' dns there. but can't find (?) FOSS project with such functionality and opendns.com is pure commercial organisation with ugly stuff like forwarding failed request to is site with ads and it can change the rules at any time.

Monitoring support

If connectivity is good then no questions, there are bunch of ready to use solutions like Munin, Nagious, etc.

Initial Smart Objects support

Features/Smart_Objects

Mothership

• Interaction with motherships
• (?) Initial sugar-mothership implementation, only regarding to current sugar-server functionality
