Who's got what

Add your laptop below to the testing group. Donna will try to bring along a few extra laptops.

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.
