* Sri Lanka's great gift of 10 full-time testing people over 1.5 months
(starting Mch 8?) can help us build back 2008's very inspiring
community testing drive:<br>

Thanks to the Virtusa Corporation donating these 10 employees, and
proven formal methods we'll integrate alongside, like:

> Build 10.10 latest, 201 to be released soon
(explanation development builds: 100s - unsigned builds, 200s - signed
builds)<br>
<br>
* CORRECTION: os110 is the latest development build; os111, os112 etc
will likely follow.<br>
os201 is the latest signed/stable build on the early production
XO-1.5 laptops; os202 may not happen for a little while?<br>
All XO-1.5 builds are available here:<br>

Writing test cases and following them are a snap -- once someone

<br>
<div>* While the XO-1.5's OS/Sugar Activities (and Gnome too) will
certainly be our core focus, side projects will hopefully also be
important too:<br>
<br>
</div>

<div> - XO-1 : backporting Fedora 11 for ~1.5 million XO's already
out there? (Steve Parrish in North Carolina cc'd, please clarify your
testing needs!)<br>

- Translation work (Sri Lankan team can start / recheck right away)<br>

* Sri Lanka shipping address and phone number by Friday morning please!<br>
<br>
* Several early production XO-1.5's should also head to New Zealand if
Tim McNamara clarifies a shipping address and phone number!<br>

<div>James - [OLPC's] systems test coordinator - Aus business days -
testing XOs 1.5, mainly hardware/kernel - integration between Sugar
& h/w features. lots of problems w/ software components. Problems
with kernel that are not huge issues. SugarLabs have issues. Important
to test. Produce lots of laptops. We think we have solved with laptops
/ peripher[al]s. Problems shouldn't arise.</div>

<div>Software stack, Fedora 11 / where possible we fix the issues

<div>Testlink allows test cases to be replicated easily. At the
moment, there is no formal method for testing. Balance between
informal/formal methodology to testing to be struck. Formal methods
could available to the community. With Testlink, just be matter of
writing test cases & then moving testers toward the site.</div>
