Hello team<br><br>We have a request to help sugarlabs by testing Sugar 0.88 development releases before April. <br><br>Post the LCA2010 Open Day this weekend if anyone would like to put their hand to be the contact point for this (feel free to take few breathing space days before replying)? This would involve reading the roadmap, being the contact for the development team, downloading the releases and making sure we give feedback at the appropriate points in the cycle. You will need to be subscribed to <a href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel</a> to keep up to date. <br clear="all">
<br>If you can lead the NZ support for the Sugar 0.88 development release please reply to Simon and Tomeu. <br><br>Thanks<br>Tabitha <br>Cell +64 21 482229<br>

Hi Tabitha,<br>
<br>
I know you are doing a lot of great work with testing for the olpc project. Currently the Sugar team is working on the 0.88 release that will be available by the end of march 2010 [1].<br>
<br>
Sugar has a 6 months release cycle. To get new Features bug free for the release they have to be tested already during the development cycle. There are so called "development releases" during the cycle. Those are available as Soas-images [2] and do need testing.<br>
<br>
Do you think your group can help with this task? Until the end of April we have 5 development releases and two bugfix releases. If we coordinate well, I think we are able to get a good result with not too much investments time-wise. I made already an official call on the mailing list [2].<br>
<br>
Let me know what you think, "no, we do not have free cycles" is a fine answer of course :)<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Simon<br>
