Things have moved forward quite a bit in the meantime, but alas we haven't seen a 0.3 release. There's been some delays and distractions - setting up shop in BA, and then in NZ, plus a nasty but lucky car crash. But things are moving forward apace. Here's a brief summary of our status - Wad has fixed some kernel driver issues, and I've fixed some install bugs. A new build is available (163) but it's not quite yet a formal release. Still, it's the recommended build at the moment. - XO-to-XS backup is at the top of my priorities list - displacing installation/configuration issues a bit, and it is taking a bit longer than expected. The XO side of it is quite new to me, and - in working with the deployment teams - it becomes clear that the high cost of dealing with bugs in released/deployed versions makes it worthwhile being careful when working on infrastructural stuff. The XS software has few testers, so "release early, release often" won't be enough to uncover issues -- attention to detail is important. - Working on issues with the XS build/installation process itself is extremely time-consuming. - I want to define an ID mgmt scheme to identify users to webapps on the XO asap. This is the one main issue stalling webapp development/customisation for the XS. In spite of the delays - the roadmap still stands. My plan now is to get backup sorted in the next couple of days. After that I'll be travelling a bit to speak about OLPC and to work with a couple of deployment teams. And then I'll get a few weeks at 1CC, which will be a great opportunity to work on networking issues and authentication, both things that interop with other parts of the stack. Things are more organic & complex that I initially expected - but more fun too.
