The community testing team is a volunteer group that seeks:
* We are a volunteer community group.
* We test OLPC products and advocate bugfixes on behalf of stakeholders.

* We are transparent about our processes and our results.
to provide developers, users, and stakeholders with an up-to-date, publicly accessible, reliable assessment of how each product and service offered by OLPC meets the needs of those we are trying to serve,
* We seek to learn and try new things and to teach others what we know.

* We ask forgiveness, not permission; we value rough consensus, passing tests, and coverage.
to be advocates for transparency and community participation within the internal QA group and advocates for testability within the grassroots software, hardware, and content development teams,

and to constantly seek improvement in our outreach/education efforts, methods, tools, and processes in order to become an increasingly community-run effort.
