If you want to focus on helping some deployments, then Samoa request help
with integrating laptops into the curriculum, so if we can give them ideas
on how to use the laptops for English, Samoan, Maths, Basic Science, Social
Science, Arts, ... that would be great. I think we can start with pointing
them to existing resources. Asi and Tai are on this mailing list so they
will see what we write here to help them.
Further requests from deployments include on site support for Cook Islands -
they are having issues with school server, wifi and internet connectivity
and could do with some help. They also would like more activities for the
laptops and more ebooks. Anyone able to put their hand up for this?


Have fun :-)

Hi,<br>
<br>
I have been doing 0.90-F14 builds for the XO-1 and XO-1.5. You can grab<br>
the latest build from [1].<br>
<br>
I provide these builds that people that do have XO-hardware can start<br>
helping testing 0.90. So far, we did not have much testing yet. We just<br>
released 0.90.0 and want to do a bug fix release at the end of the month<br=
>
[2]. So testing and filing good bug reports is highly welcome.<br>
<br>
Please use these builds only for reporting back 0.90 issues. There are<br>
surely issues that are due to integration issues. Leave them for now.<br>
<br>
When you report bugs at [3] with these builds please set the Version to<br>
0.90 and add the keyword olpc-0.90 to be able differentiate those bugs.<br>
<br>
A good first start would be to test the Features [4] that have landed in<br=
>
0.90. Each page does contain a test case. As well the release notes at<br>
[5] might be of help. And of course, testing different languages and<br>
smoke tests of all different fashions are welcome.<br>
<br>

So far we have not seen much testing of 0.90 yet, that is why the bug<br>
fix releases noted above are so important to us. We need as well your<br>
help to actually discover the bugs! There are basically three ways how<br>
you can test as of today (besides using sugar-jhbuild):<br><br>
* Install Fedora 14 on a machine and install the Sugar desktop<br><br>
* Test using Sugar on a stick: Get one of the nightly snapshots [4] and<br>
put it on a usb key. You can find instructions about it at [5]. It is<br>
good to subscribe to the Soas mailing list (low traffic) [6] for<br>
announcement and discussions in that case.<br><br>
* If you have an XO (XO-1 or XO-1.5) you can use an image from [7].<br><br>
If you are aware of any other distribution where Sugar 0.90 can be<br>
tested easily please comment.<br></blockquote>
