Actions for next meeting

  1. Testing Activities for G1G1; use http://wiki.laptop.org/go/G1G1_Activity_testing and http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activity_smoke_testing to report testing.
  2. Testing Image 8.2.1 (802 build)
  3. SoaS
  4. Keep working on our testing strategy to ensure we are getting it right.
  5. Keep having fun!

Bonus testing options

  1. Write usage instructions and expected feature lists on the Activity wiki page, so users know more what to expect - http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/Analyze as an example.
  2. Contact Activity maintainers (all of them have emails listed on their userpages now) with your feedback, and ask how it can be made most helpful to them. (Cc the testing list, please, so we hear their feedback too!)
  3. After every testing sprint Pia will report on the groups progress to http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/testing and to the OLPC Friends website which is aggregated at http://planet.laptop.org.
