Caroline, I really don't think the problem is lack of testing in the case of
Ubuntu. It is that so little works that activity testing is basically a
smoke test (turn it on and see if it even comes up). And because the only
status report is a bunch of individual bug reports, there is a high barrie

God I a m happy u stated the needed. We hqd a presentation in Grqz,
Austria, where basically we walked out like idiots. We got loqds of
feedback, which is what my message as about... but fact remains SoaS,

marketers can only shake our

well this entire conversation was really brought about because I
couldnt practice speech with my 2 nephews... Im sorry if I crossed the
line a bit, but I think what I said needed to be said... SoaS is
indeed the best plqtform right now and the kids not only loved it
(one 9 the other 3) they needed
It is absolutely vital that SoaS boot/install work in a reliable way.
Any nongeek user who can't use it will not bother reporting precise
bug information, and moreover will lose motivation to try it again. In
the case of branded USB sticks boot/install failures will make Sugar
Labs appear as a crud
hey there sean essentially there is no difference between SoaS and
cd the problem comes from the distro specific intricacies, which
can be many more than devs care to admit... I agree.. this is not a
usable product unless it alll works... saying oh welll speak

Hi,
I see frustration but I'm having trouble knowing who should have done
something and failed to do it.
Can we get a list of issues, each of them with a list of people that
may be able to do something about them?
Thanks,
Tomeu

By the way, I just got SoaS running on an Intel Classmate 3. It was easy to
do. But as others have said, there's more work to do to beef up the
activities. I'm excited! I will be presenting this at next Saturday's OLPC
Learning Club DC meeting at Gallaudet University.

Hi Mike,
Is it ok if I blog about this on schoolkey.net? Do you have a blog post
about it I can link to? I can easily embed your slideshow from Flickr and
it gives cusiouslee credit automatically.
Thanks!
