== Project Description ==
 
School Server Packaging
 
The One Laptop per Child project (OLPC) provides a software distribution for what they call the "school server" (XS). This distribution needs to run on both ARM and x86_64/i386 systems.
Expected outcome: The XS packages will be in the Fedora package set.
 
Maximum number of students: 6 (each taking several different packages)
 
Skills required: packaging, scripting, testing
 
Resources: Jerry Vonauk, Adam Holt, Chris Tyler (ctyler)

== Project Details ==
 
The basic idea behind this part of the project is to provide a software distribution for the XS packages to run on both ARM and x86_64/i386 systems.
<!-- Provides more depth than the Project Description. This is the place for technical discussions, project specs, or other details. If this gets very long, you might consider breaking this part into multiple pages and linking to them. -->
 
== Project Plan ==
 
Tracking mechanism (bugzilla, trac, github, ...):
 
Key contacts:
<!-- Add links to any mentors or key participants in the community. -->
Goals for each release and plans for reaching those goals:
 
* 0.1 Research on what type of distribution can be used to run on both ARM and x86_64/i386 systems.
* 0.2 Take the 0.1 release and make any changes or correction that need to be done and test it.
* 0.3 Finalize the package release.
 
<!-- Note: each contributor is expected to have unique goals. These goals may be ''related'' to other students' work, but must be ''distinct'' and ''attainable'' regardless of the state of the other students' work. For example, under the umbrella of one project title, one student may work on packaging a piece of software and another may work on documentation, or one may work on solving one bug and another on solving another bug, but two students must not work on the same bug or depend on the other students' work in order to be able to complete their own project. -->
