Next Testing Session

Transport: For those coming via Public Transport, the City Circle, number 48 (North Balwyn - Docklands) number 86 (Bundoora - Docklands) and number 70 (Wattle Park - Docklands) all stop on the corner of Bourke Street and Harbour Esplanade. Southern Cross Station is just across the overpass over Wurundjeri Road.

Parking: There is plenty of paid parking nearby.

We'll be testing the latest software build... come along, and help out. If you have an XO - please let us know, and we'll be happy to help you flash it to the latest version. If you don't have an XO bring a laptop and a USB key and we'll have a go at testing sugar on a stick.

What we do

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

We plan to coordinate with NZ on testing http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_New_Zealand/Test_Requests

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.
