Hi NZ Volunteers<br><br>For those preparing for this Saturday, if you don't have a test plan already, here are 4 ideas:<br><br>1. Try Sugar on a Stick version 3 (Mirabelle) on any computer you can; remember to report what works and what doesn't, and include the hardware details. If you can connect to the internet, then try collaboration via <a href="http://jabber.sugarlabs.org">jabber.sugarlabs.org</a> with one of the other volunteers around the world<br>
<br>2. Review James Simmons book and give him feedback (<a href="mailto:nicestep@gmail.com">nicestep@gmail.com</a>): A current PDF is here:

<br><br>3. Try testing one of the XO builds (<a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OS_images">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OS_images</a>)<br>Stephen Parrish's F11-on-XO1 build based on Sugar 0.84 (Feb 2009): <a href="http://people.sugarlabs.org/%7Esmparrish/" target="_blank">http://people.sugarlabs.org/~smparrish/</a> and <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/F11_for_XO-1" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/F11_for_XO-1</a><br>
If you have an XO-1.5 please <span class="il">test</span> build 125 <a href="http://build.laptop.org/10.2.0/os125/">http://build.laptop.org/10.2.0/os125/</a><br><br>4. Write
an email to our list sharing your favourite activity; why its your
favourite; and some examples of how you could use it in an educational
context<br><br>5. Test an activity you have never played - <a href="http://activities.sugarlabs.org">http://activities.sugarlabs.org</a> - or test Abacus for Walter - <a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/Abacus">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/Abacus</a><br>
<br><br>Of course, these are just suggestions, you can always test your own ideas :-)<br><br><br>If you are new to the list, we meet on <span class="il">Saturday</span>s at 11am:<br><ul><li>Auckland - the Windsor, 144 Parnell Road</li>
