<br>Hi Tim,<div><br></div><div>The volunteer/tech community around OLPC in Australia is developing, and Adam correct is not yet as established as OLPC NZ. I would recommend being in contact with the NZ community as they do great testing work for XO and SoaS builds and Sugar activities through their Auckland/Wellington groups.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We have a developing tech community in Australia being coordinated through OLPC Friends (<a href="http://www.olpcfriends.org/">http://www.olpcfriends.org/</a>) with support of OLPC Australia (<a href="http://laptop.org.au/">http://laptop.org.au/</a>). We join with the SLUG (<a href="http://www.slug.org.au/">http://www.slug.org.au/</a>) community on the last Friday of the month with a OLPC BoF, if you could make it to Sydney it would be great to meet you. The next meeting should be on 28th May, 6pm at Google Sydney. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I have a spare XO-1 that I could lend you so you can become familiar. If you wish to request to borrow one please send your full contact and address details to myself and Sridhar (cc'd). I could most likely post the XO or you could pick up one in Sydney.</div>
<div><br></div><div>In regards to the SoaS V2 stick, how did you create the USB drive? </div><div><a href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD/USBHowTo#Graphical_Method_-_Windows_or_Fedora">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD/USBHowTo#Graphical_Method_-_Windows_or_Fedora</a></div>

<div><font size="2" face="Arial">Morning </font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">I live in Albury Australia, and have had contact
with Adam Holt, about becoming an OLPC tech support Volunteer, he suggested that
the NZ community was better established than here in Oz, so suggested I make
contact, Vie resurrected and older IBM think pad, and downloaded blackberry V2
from Fedora, but I'm unable to get the memory stick to boot, Ive searched
the web for forum links that might help, but it seems that getting older laptops
to boot has been put on the back burner.</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">Adam suggested that there might be a used XO around
that I might be able to borrow or buy, so that I can get up to speed with the
OS, any feed back is welcome.</font></div>
