1.0

Initial coding of core components

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

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

Testing

  • sugar-server unit tests, initial work done the rest is in permanent process
  • mace unit tests, initial work done the rest is in permanent process
  • sugaroid, library and application that represent regular sugar client behaviour
  • sugar-server integration tests using sugaroid library, initial work done the rest is in permanent process
  • system tests of sugar-server + sugar-server-base infra with reproducing usual and stress behaviour of sugar client using sugaroids instances (up to 1K)

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 with sugar-server-base.

Options are:

  • Dans Guardian (MinD fork)
  • SquidCache
  • OpenDNS
  • ?

Thoughts:

  • Nepal uses Dans Guardian and looks like pretty satisfied
  • 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 a pure commercial organisation with ugly stuff like forwarding failed requests to its 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. The problematic usecase is having servers that are mostly or entirely offline. The way might be collecting data on school servers and pass them to the mothership somehow via sneakernet.

Thoughts:

Initial Smart Objects support

Features/Smart_Objects

Many things to think about first before any implementation...

Mothership

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

Need to collect more experience from XS deployments before any implementation...
