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.

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.
