Testing Update.1-702

[Michael Stone]

Dear everyone,

At today's software status meeting, several individuals, including:

  dgilmore
  erikos
  bemasc
  Blaketh
  mstone

volunteered [had their arms twisted] into running the 

  http://wiki.laptop.org/go/1_Hour_Smoke_Test 
  
on Update.1 702 with Spanish-language laptops when available and with
other languages as the opportunity arises. Installation instructions:

  http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Testing_Update.1

The purpose of this testing is to generate data that will help qualify
or disqualify Update.1-702's suitability to be our Update.1 release and
that will help us to improve the stub Update.1 release notes at:

  http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Update.1_Software_Release_Notes

I have charged Simon Schampijer (erikos) with the task of cleaning and
collating information gleaned from this testing by ensuring that 
information makes its way into Trac and by preparing daily public status
reports describing the measurements that were made and what they
revealed. Please cooperate with him to the best of your ability.

Finally, if you were not able to attend the status meeting and would
like to assist in this testing effort but lack access to laptops, please
contact us on the mailing lists and we'll see if we can find some
loaners.

Michael
