Then it has to be packaged by distributions (Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu etc...). From there Spins like Soas or the XO picks them up [1]. I am doing XO builds containing the latest Sugar (0.90) for the XO [2]. So given from your information, that should be a good way for you to test 0.90. I will do a new build by the end of the week.

Sascha [1] http://lists.sugarlabs.org/options/sugar-devel We currently use the mailing list test...@lists.laptop.org Considering the huge number of lists that many of us follow I would like us to consider whether we need to use another list. There are 16 lists on lists.sugarlabs.org and over 100 lists on lists.laptop.org and many of us follow quite a few and the lines between olpc and Sugar are blurred because if you support one you are often found supporting the other. Could we use test...@lists.laptop.org or do we need to separate out Sugar testing for non XO hardware? Whatever is decided I will follow, just making sure we think it through.

Thanks Tabitha Hi Tabitha, I think Sascha was just asking that we add [Testing] to messages to sugar-devel. This means that people can opt-out of those messages in the list's administration setting. Coordinating tests between OLPC Sugar Labs is an interesting one. It's something I've been working on for several months [1]. Perhaps there could be a BOF session with a few people in San Fran to work out the simplest way forward?

Are there any plans to provide remote participation via Skype or similar to these talks?
