Yesterday we had the 2nd meeting in Brussels -- this time at a Swedish
trade representation office, thanks to our kind hosts for the place
and connectivity.

The first meeting was mainly social, a bit of getting to know people
and going through the 1hr smoketest on XOs running 8.2.1 -- a good
first encounter with software that has already been QAd. "This is how
it looks when it works" :-)

On this second meeting we had a chance to play with SoaS on 2 OTS
laptops, as well as one XO, alongside 8.2.1 on about 10 XOs. It took a
while to get started -- the booting issues that Caroline mentions are
real, and many laptops are picky on what they boot.

Version: Soas2-200904161412.iso

Highlights:

- Sound works well! TamTamJam worked pretty well on the Dell Vostro
1500 tested.

- Pippy (behaved identically on both laptops tested)
- Sound playing was mixed -- Sequence and and Playsine work.
Playwave and Getsoundslist are broken.
- Pong is broken, apparently due to sound.
- 'Thanks' is broken -- I suspect that the code is building a
2-dimensional table that is smaller than what size() returns.

- XOs running 8.2.1 (alongside the SoaS test machines) were happily
running Salut (over a local AP) -- and the question of the day was:
how can we get SoaS to switch to Salut?

- XOs running 8.2.1 and Chat.xo had a lot of situations where a given
machine would be in a chatroom but fail to see everyone else's
messages. We developed a suspicion that it might be related to
different language settings on the various machines, but we could not
repro the problem. Is this known? There are no references to this on
http://dev.laptop.org/query?status=assigned&status=new&status=reopened&component=chat-activity&order=priority&col=id&col=summary&col=status&col=type&col=priority&col=milestone&col=component

- SoaS on the XO booted, but I don't have any further notes on this
-- it was running off a USB stick with a compressed Squashfs partition
-- not the best setup, and it was conversely slow. My plan is to get
one or two XOs with a properly installed Soas image _and_ an XO
kernel.

- There is no Record.xo ?

- Alex and Daniel were playing also with httpd-crcsync --

- Bring a 4GB USB stick (or at least >1GB)
- Bring a printout of the smoketest
  http://wiki.laptop.org/go/1_hour_smoke_test
