What we do
- User testing - if its not easily discoverable it needs fixing
- Bug testing - Activities and operating system
- Testing on XO hardware, we have some spare XO units
- Testing Sugar on a Stick / live CD - bring your laptop
- 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.
