<font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana">Hi Folks,</font><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana">The developers at Sugar Labs are working on the latest version of Sugar on a Stick (SoaS) and can use help with testing it on all kinds of computers. SoaS is a build of Sugar that is able to run on various non-XO computers via usb stick or even a live CD. It contains many of the same great Sugar Activities that are available on the XO computers, including the Gnome desktop (evidently... I haven't tried that one yet). </font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana">If you have a computer with an intel processor (desktop, laptop, or netbook... Macs, Windows, and Linux), an extra usb stick (4 GB is plenty), internet, a sense of adventure, and a little spare time (warning, this can be addicting), you may want to try doing some SoaS testing. This is actually an ongoing thing. When they finish and sign off on one build there is always another waiting in the wings to be put through its paces.</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana">If you are interested, <i><u>send me your email address </u></i>(so I don't bother others on the list who aren't interested) and I will forward some messages from the current testing that is going on so you can see what kinds of things people are testing and discovering. You don't have to be a programmer/developer to contribute. All you need is interest and a basic understanding of your computer. Help is available online if you need it.</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana">Caryl</font></div> </body>
