Thanks for testing the teacher training customisations. This allows us
to modify the standard OLPC OS 10.1.3 into something that is similar
to our 10.1.3-au series, and is hence compatible with our One
Education programme.

If you examine the Training Pack files, you'll see that we upgrade
Browse, MusicPainter, Scratch and Speak. Other activities are
untouched. We install the Adobe Flash Player, although I suspect that
performance will be poor on XO-1 hardware. The Favourites view is also
changed.

See the training.sh file for details on what modifications the
Training Pack makes.

Cheers,
Sridhar

 Today we tested XO-1s build 860 Sugar 0.84.31 with a bunch of customizations
 for NZ teacher training and XO-1.5s on 12.1.0 build 20.

 Tux, XO-1, build 860 + customisations:
 Touchpad drove me crazy during the following list of tests; no collaboration
 testing done today except for chat and distance.
 By default set to UTC time, need to go into settings and change to
 Pacific/Auckland time and restart.
 Switch to gnome and back to Sugar works.
 Maze works
 Speak main speak part works but not robot
 Record took a photo, low quality video, audio - all viewable/playable
 Paint tested most functions, all working
 Musicpainter works
 Moon works
 Implode works
 Memorize played all preloaded games with all sizes, worked, created a text
 game and played it
 Read opens but had nothing to read
 Write works
 Turtleart basic test works
 Scratch basic test works
 Tamtam mini tried a few options, all worked
 Tamtam edit basic test works
 Tamtam jam works
 Tamtam synthlab basic test works
 Jukebox works
 Help works
 Measure basic test works
 Image viewer works
 Log works
 Etoys tutorial works
 Calculate basic test worked
 Pippy tried a few options, all played
 Browse works, connected to local wireless network and browsed net as well as
 trying some of the links on the homepage
 Distance on local wireless network worked with Anna, looks pretty accurate
 distance calculation
 Chat worked with Anna on local wireless network

 Anna, XO-1, build 860 + customisations:
 Memorise 3 grids ok - created game ok

 Record pix ok. Timer seems to work ok. Video low res 2 min ok, playback ok.
 Video hi not available - on  the icon there is an arrow suggesting it will
 bring up a drop down menu but there does not appear to be one.

 Measure: starts ok - there is a single channel active, but refresh is such
 that one sees two overlapping waves - this could be confusing. Gain and time
 controls appear to work ok. V(t) and FFT seem to be ok. Capture every 30 sec
 seems ok - trigger does not seem to work. Tab that displays the trace is
 named ‘sound’ - which is kind of true when it is capturing from a
 microphone, but it is really voltage and distinguishing this might be
 important if one is to bring a signal in from a different source through the
 microphone input.

 Paint: Slow! Became frustrated and moved

 Ivy, XO-1.5, 12.1.0 build 20:
 Write, Wikipedia EN, Record, Tamtam mini, Browse, Getbooks and Read. Quality
 of photos quite good regardless of low or high quality. Tamtam Synthlab
 works and is really good.

 We didn't see any video anomalies in this build.

Ouch. I am up to version 42. Not sure it makes sense to try to debug
such an old version. Thx.

Tom: Any chance you guys could drop the latest Measure bits [1] onto
an 860 machine to see if some of these issues are resolved?

I tested measure 42 on build 860 on XO-1 and it seems to work well, 
except that if you switch to resistance or voltage sensors, you can't 
change back to the microphone sensor or swap between the resistance and 
voltage sensors.


The tuner is fun.
