Welcome to the Git repository of the XSCE project. XSCE is a community-based
|
|
|
|
|
|
project developed and supported by volunteers from around the world. It
|
|
|
|
|
|
provides communication, networking, content, and maintenance to schools and
|
|
|
|
|
|
classrooms. In everyday usage the school server provides services which extend
|
|
|
|
|
|
capabilities of the connected laptops while being transparent to the
|
|
|
|
|
|
user. These services include:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Classroom connectivity – Similar to what you would find in an advanced home router.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Internet gateway – If available, an internet connection is made available to laptops.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Content – Tools to make instructional media available to their schools and classrooms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Maintenance – Tools to keep laptop updated and running smoothly.

All of our server code resides in this repository. We are using ansible_ as the
|
|
|
|
|
|
underlying technology to install, deploy, configure and manage the various
|
|
|
|
|
|
server components.
