Developer XO laptop loan or buy - Speakeasy project

This thread has gone pretty long and deep into the bikeshedding realm.
I am surprised nobody posted the answer to the original question of

on XOs, that's how to get one.

Of course there are ways to program and test on other hardware -- use
Fedora with Sugar desktop or jhbuild.
