Last I checked, Poly wasn't an employee of OLPC. I don't think we can or should make him fix our dense network problems, or run our mesh testbed. We should, however, give him all the support he needs (and he's only asking for ~10 laptops) to create the sparse network testbed he's interested in, since we will need that after 8.2, and if it's to be ready then someone needs to start working on it now. > The 8.2 release is the one that Peru will be using next year (2009). > It is very important that any MPP functionality that is added back > to the build be very well tested in the dense school wifi scenario > by 8.2 freeze to ensure happy customers. Yes, continued wireless testing is important. We also need to be willing to act on the results of that testing. --scott -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
