The Melbourne XO Club meets monthly* to do testing, hacking and general activities around the OLPC.

(* the third saturday of every month except in September, when we celebrate Software Freedom Day instead, and in January - when we hold a social BBQ instead.)

Many thanks to the Welly NZ Testers who have created such a great model for OLPC testing.

[edit] What we do

User testing - if its not easily discoverable it needs fixing
Bug testing - Activities and operating system
Testing on XO hardware, we have some spare XO units
Testing Sugar on a Stick / live CD - bring your laptop
Keep having fun!

We plan to coordinate with NZ on testing.

[edit] Who's got what

Bring your laptop below the testing group. If you don't have an XO laptop, you can emulate the current build of the OLPC environment — Fedora 9 + Sugar + core activities — on your existing computer by running a Live CD or running one of our OS images under emulation.
