[OLPC_Boston] Volunteer opportunities this week?

[Caroline Meeks]

Hi Chris,

the XS has a mailing list - server-devel, be sure to join it before you
start installing the XS.  Also on #sugar people are working on it.

Birmingham and Chester PA are working on setting theirs up now also so you
will not be alone.

The development team also needs help with packaging activities for Fedora
and other Linux installs.

When Walter and I met with the GPA all the teachers in Boston have an apple
laptop. We decided that they should probably use Sugar in emulation mode on
their laptops, where it would feel pretty much like another program.  What
is the plan for the CFS teachers? Will they use a XO or emulation on their
existing laptops?
