[OLPC New Zealand] build 20 testing

[Carlos Nazareno]

I left Bonnie home out west in Massey, might be a bit far for you
guys. If anyone's in the area, I can meet up at the Westfield Mall
Henderson interchange tomorrow around lunch time, but I have to be
back home before 3 so I can prep for Ludum Dare.

I'm also still doing testing with Bonnie, particularly research on
available dev environments on it to inform other developers we've been
inviting.

A component of OLPC just as important as the software for the kids is
the ability to develop content using them for the adults as the
assumption is that for many deployments, the XOs may be the *only*
machines available onsite at communities & no traditional commercial
machines.

Seeing how this workflow will go on the ARM-based 1.75 is very
important as many tools/packages aren't available because of the ARM
architecture (OpenJDK on ARM only goes to 5 and not 6 which a bunch of
other tools depend upon) & it's an eye opener most Linux devs won't
have the opportunity to explore since they don't normally have access
to Full-on Linux on ARM.
