[olpc-nz] Testing this Saturday

[Tabitha Roder]

Hi volunteers

A reminder about testing this Saturday:

   - Auckland - the Windsor, 144 Parnell Road
   - Wellington - The Cross, 35 Abel Smith St


We have test requests for XO-1.0 and XO-1.5 laptops:

XO-1.0 - please test 802b6

   - Martin thanks the NZ testers and advises these changes based on their
   feedback:


   - Write has been fixed, by rolling back the libxml2 upgrade. This breaks
      "modern" versions of GCompris -- use only the GCompris version
indicated for
      802 builds...
      - Chat is back to v9 - Behind the scenes -- signing kernels and
      initramfs works properly now. Some preexisting changes might be worth of
      additional testing...
      - Colors 13 -> 15
      - Record 59 -> 64

XO-1.5 - please test build 125

   - Description of changes in this build:
   - Record: Another attempt to fix Record sync, this time by writing
      intermediate files to a tmpfs, to avoid jitter due to slow SD writes.
      - powerd: inhibit idle suspend for 1 min after waking from sleep
      - usb_modeswitch, tcl: include for GSM modem support (#9684)
      - Pull F11 updates.


I hope to start collating a repository of ideas for teaching using the XOs -
if you know a teacher that might like to help, invite them along to a
Saturday session.

Note that the Sugar translation pages are up on pootle for many Pacific
languages. If you speak another language and want to help translate, it is
easy using pootle, you just need to create yourself a login.  Here is a link
to Maori:  http://translate.sugarlabs.org/mi/


See you at testing (or virtually for the other cities)
