[olpc-nz] olpc / sugar Testing this Saturday

[Tabitha Roder]

Hi volunteers


Three test requests for Saturday - Bernie's builds, James Cameron requesting
feedback on release notes and test activity - Free from Malaria.


If you want to test Bernie's alpha release 2 builds (XO-1.0 and XO-1.5) for
Paraguay go here -
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Deployment_Team/Sugar-0.88_Notes


Other XO-1.5 builds are here - http://build.laptop.org/

James Cameron request:

> http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_notes/10.1.1 has been drafted, Further
> edits are welcome.  In particular:
>
> 0.  are there any interesting new features or notable bugs that should be
> listed?  (e.g. does my sense of interest and notability match yours?)
>
> 1.  is the installation process correct in other circumstances?  (it works
> for me, requires less keyboard use on the XO-1.5, and has less
> risk of bad experience caused by issuing commands after fs-update),
>
> 2.  will the build be on download.laptop.org or build.laptop.org?
> (presuming the latter for the time being),
>
> 3.  are there any pictures available of holding down all four game keys?
>
> 4.  has anyone recently tested olpc-update from os64 to os20x?

(My first bit of feedback from me is there are two folders - 10.1.1 and
10.2.0 - the documentation confuses which is which)



I have just heard about an activity that teaches children about
Malaria(Papa New Guinea and Solomon Islands are on the
Malaria risk list) -
http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/search?q=malaria&cat=all


> The Free From Malaria game tells the story of Paul, a boy who lives in a
> Malaria
> endemic country. Paul learns how mosquitoes are responsible for spreading
> the
> Plasmodium parasite which causes Malaria. He also learns how to recognize
> the
> symptoms it causes and to seek medical help if someone thinks they have the
> disease.
>
> The content consists of a comic story with two games that teaches children
> the
> importance of covering up at night-time and using bed nets. The goal is to
> help
> children recognize their role in the prevention of the disease and to
> create a
> future free from Malaria.
