* Sri Lanka's great gift of 10 full-time testing people over 1.5 months
(starting Mch 8?) can help us build back 2008's very inspiring community
testing drive:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Friends_in_testing
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Test_cases_8.2.0
Thanks to the Virtusa Corporation donating these 10 employees, and
proven formal methods we'll integrate alongside, like:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Rational_Unified_Process
> Build 10.10 latest, 201 to be released soon (explanation development
builds: 100s - unsigned builds, 200s - signed builds)
* CORRECTION: os110 is the latest development build; os111, os112 etc
will likely follow.
os201 is the latest signed/stable build on the early production
XO-1.5 laptops; os202 may not happen for a little while?
All XO-1.5 builds are available here:
http://build.laptop.org/10.2.0
* Chamindra (Sri Lanka Testing Lead) explains the great streamlining
power of:
http://blog.TestLink.org
Writing test cases and following them are a snap -- once someone
installs this PHP site?
* The Sri Lankan team is familiar with open sources methods, but
Cultural intros structuring/cleaning http://dev.laptop.org/1.5 and
http://dev.sugarlabs.org will be extremely important.
* While the XO-1.5's OS/Sugar Activities (and Gnome too) will certainly
be our core focus, side projects will hopefully also be important too:
- XO-1 : backporting Fedora 11 for ~1.5 million XO's already out
there? (Steve Parrish in North Carolina cc'd, please clarify your
testing needs!)
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/F11_for_XO-1
- Similarly Martin Langhoff's possible Release 8.2.2:
http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2009-December/thread.html#26750
http://dev.laptop.org/~martin/8.2.2-betas/
- Sugar 0.88 (Holt asks Simon Schampijer in Berlin: what
testing/reporting he wants in March/April?)
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/0.88/Testing
- Translation work (Sri Lankan team can start / recheck right away)
http://translate.sugarlabs.org/si/
* Sri Lanka shipping address and phone number by Friday morning please!
* Several early production XO-1.5's should also head to New Zealand if
Tim McNamara clarifies a shipping address and phone number!

*Discusion Items*
XOs to Sri Lanka, concern about customs duties. 6 * XOs 1.5, 2 * XO 1
1300 XOs in country. May have better relationship with customs.
DHL/FedEx do have contractual responsibilities to pay all duties.
// Introductions
James - [OLPC's] systems test coordinator - Aus business days -
testing XOs 1.5, mainly hardware/kernel - integration between Sugar &
h/w features. lots of problems w/ software components. Problems with
kernel that are not huge issues. SugarLabs have issues. Important to
test. Produce lots of laptops. We think we have solved with laptops /
peripher[al]s. Problems shouldn't arise.
Software stack, Fedora 11 / where possible we fix the issues & send
upstream. Sugar is the UI.
// Testing
Testlink allows test cases to be replicated easily. At the moment,
there is no formal method for testing. Balance between
informal/formal methodology to testing to be struck. Formal methods
could available to the community. With Testlink, just be matter of
writing test cases & then moving testers toward the site.
There seems to be a good past effort here:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Test_cases
"Friends in Testing" (Micheal Stone) community drive to do something
in the test suite. When a ticket is raised in OLPC, it's sent to Sugar.
// General Business
Wtgn update: numbers seem limited, Tabitha has moved to Auckland -
recruitment needed
Build 10.10 latest, 201 to be released soon (explanation development
