Updates & fixed "Test Cases" wiki links below!
/Testers: read Tuesday's 00:01am EDT call summarized Inline Below --
grand summary including new build announcements!/
High-Level Status: our Sri Lankan testing team is now getting started
after solid basic training this past week, familiarizing themselves
with wikis, bug trackers, the difference between XO-1 and XO-1.5 and
their builds etc -- and now reading
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Human_Interface_Guidelines . The great
news is they will also be testing the 6 XO-1's and 6 XO-1.5's with
their own children at home, with 13 USB-to-Ethernet adapters now in
Virtusa's hands. Their Assignment: James and Holt of OLPC request
much more live questioning (don't be shy!!) this coming week, as
reflashing and testing begin in earnest, asking in both these places here:
[email protected]
[ http://forum.laptop.org/chat ] (#olpc-help, and possibly later
at #olpc-test)
3 great explanatory links inlined below-- thanks to James Cameron.

From: Steven M. Parrish <[email protected]>
Good news we got the final issues resolved. You can find a new build for the
XO-1 here. http://people.sugarlabs.org/~smparrish/
You need to place the os12.crc and os12.img files on a USB stick. You will
need unlocked XO's to use these builds. Go into OFW and at the OK prompt
issue the following command. copy-nand u:\os12.img when the copy is
completed just reboot and you will be running the new image.
Any questions just ask. I am usually hanging out in #sugar
Steven
Keep testing os12 exactly as Steven says!
*6 XO-1.5's (2 C1's + 4 C2's)* will install os111:
http://build.laptop.org/10.2.0/
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/F11_for_1.5
Please test Build 113 announced here:

NEW Build 114:

XO-1.5's should not require Developer Keys as XO-1's above.
