If you wait about a day, cjb is doing a signed release based on staging
version 30 of 8.2.1, which is pretty good.

Hi all,
As a person running some OLPC trials, I have been struck by the lack of
communication and technical peer support of deployments. I thought it would
be useful to kick off weekly meetups between people doing deployments to
share knowledge, ask and answer questions, and to generally touch bas

Could someone please point me to any wireless certification the XO has

Hi all,
We now have Videochat v9 which works. This is a great thing that will help
children connect, and in particular help with remote support for children.
It could assist with eHealth, remote education, speech therapy and any
number of useful functions.
Anyway, it also needs more hacking, so a

I've just noticed that release candidate 765 when fully charged tells me I
have 2 1/2 hours of usage. This is a major concern, and something we really

minute or two to each percentage of battery. Below are some initia

Hi all,
Is the expected release date for 8.2.0 still September 17th? I have a trial
that depends on this coming out (for various functionality, mainly the
software updates and flash) so I just wanted to see whether it was still
looking likely to be released then.
Thanks all! The joyrides are look
Hi all,
I'm getting the XO certified to the Australian power and safety standard
(which makes it legal and certifiably safe in Australia, Nz and the Pacific
with a little tweaking :)) and I need to know whether the testing page is up

I'm not sure this is the right list for this, but I had some feedback on the
