[olpc-nz] Fwd: [OLPC-AU] New XO-1.5 image for testing

[Sridhar Dhanapalan]

Local teams are great (especially NZ - I love you guys!), but let's
not forget that there's a wider world out there that we can co-operate
with and learn from.

Is there a place to manage testing requests and results on a global
level? I think this may be better managed in an issues tracking system
rather than a wiki.
