Plans for this month

Next Testing Session

When: 12-4pm - Saturday 16 April 2011

Where: The Hub, 17 Waterview Walk, Docklands Melbourne

Map: see http://luv.asn.au/meetings/map#hub

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.

Contact: Tony Forster: forster at ozonline dot com dot au - 03 9796 8161

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.

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.
