[Testing] Testing summary - 10 January 2009

[Tabitha Roder]

Hi Mohit

We are running 8.2-767 and we did have problems installing. We could not
download using browser on the XO but could download on another laptop then
install from USB key by drag and drop. The download from browser on XO gave
us a file without the game icon and the file did not do anything. The
download that we drag and dropped from USB key to journal shows a game icon
that we could then display in the favourites ring.

>> Chat
>> Today we had bonjour chat on Ubuntu (pidgin on 8.10 and 8.4) talking to

>> a chat, or see non-XO computers using the bonjour chat protocol.
>>
>> Plans for next couple of weeks -
>> Next Saturday 17 January - learn how to pull apart your XO and put it back
>> together (thanks Callum, our resident expert in XO repairs) - at The Cross
>> Tuesday 27 January - meet Walter Bender, SugarLabs founder - further

>> One day soon - update from Andrew McMillan on OLPC presentations at Linux
>> Conference (February?)
>> One day soon - Martin Langhoff update on School server and python for
>> sugar programming sessions (February?)
>>
>> Feel free to invite others.
