Joyride is UNSUPPORTED by OLPC. While it is unlikely that it will damage your hardware, it may cause data corruption. Do not use it on mission-critical systems.

Now that that's out of the way: Joyride is the place where OLPC developers play.

It contains all the bleeding-edge features that will be included in the next release.

How to get testing!

  1. Get a developer key and disable security
  2. Check the Friends in testing page or directly check for the latest build by scrolling to the bottom and looking for "LATEST-IS"
  3. Use olpc-update (or various offline methods) to upgrade to "joyride-buildnumber"
  4. Register a trac account if you haven't already, that is the place that you will be reporting bugs

If you have any trouble, feel free to ask on IRC or the devel mailing list.
