Big thanks to Brenda, Tim, Leonie, Callum, Tabitha & Stephen!  Overall
score - 2 confirmed bugs, 11 new bugs filed, several curious families
educated on OLPC arcana.

HW: 4 MP, 1 B4
SW: All on Joyride-2270 + default activities
Network: all in Simple Mesh over channel 1
Other: several USB-key type disks, cable extensions, understanding cafe staff

Testing log - we roughly followed the smoketest, with various diversions...

- Opened Distance and shared - measured distance correctly in a noisy
environment up to 1 meter. The cafe music interfered at more than 1
meter.

- Measure fails to open - logs end with ImportError: No module named
Numeric. (confirms #7771)

- Tam Tam Jam - works!

- Pippy 'sequence' - works!

- Record
  - Taking a picture and displaying it works
  - Video capture & playback works but leaves the activity unstable -
the next action will crash the activity. #7887
  - Audio capture works.
  - Paint works -- with bugs
    - Bug: Cannot rename activity within paint (confirms #6220)
    - Bug: Cannot share it over mesh - other XOs see the shared
activity name, but when joining see an empty canvas or an old painting
of their own. #7888
    - Bug: Cannot close Paint activities that have failed to join a
network document. #7890
  - Write works
    - Sharing works well - 4 in a session.
    - Invites worked!
    - Insert images from Record via clipboard drag-n-drop and from
Paint via Insert Image->Journal works. Shows up correctly on mesh
    - One of 4 Write sessions seized up, taking 99% cpu. #7889

 - Tam Tam mini -- does not work consistntly
   - Works on one MP
   - Does not start on one MP - the machine freezes hard, if I switch
to VT right after starting TTm, the VT becomes unresponsive after 2s.
#7885
   - Did not make sound on one MP until rebooted. After reboot, tried
Record, TTJam, Distance to see if any of them failed to release the
audio channel, but could not repro. #7886

 - Running Sudoku from a vfat-formatted USB stick gave an error:
"Could not find the board menu or plugin execution error [OK]" which
displays for ~2s, and goes away. Long delay in startup - it eventually
starts. We also saw "Could not find the board menu /puzzle/sudoku or
plugin execution error [OK]". Appears to execute twice. Filed under
GCompris-activities - is there a more appropriate component for
Sudoku? #7891

 - Installed sudoku & maze to NAND via USB stick->drag&drop via
Journal, they appear in journal, activities list, and once marked as
favourites, in the ring.

 - Tam Tam Jam seems to hang after a bit of use. #7892

 - Shared activities of a given XO continue to appear in the
neighbourhood view of the XO itself, even right after a reboot with no
activities open! In general, after ~2 hours and after various reboots
the quality of the mesh interactions dropped quite a bit, and the
neighbourhood/friends views were completely out of sync with reality.
This seems to lack a way to revalidate or reset the status of the
presence service. #7893  ---  early on

 - Trying with various usb disks (vfat partitioned), all of them mount
correctly -- dmesg reports them as mounted and accessing
/media/<label> works, but some of them do not turn up in the Journal.
#7895

Hope this helps. We are actually still going through a few more tests.
It helped to ask people to read through the Friends in Testing and
smoketest page before coming.

cheers,
