Hey All,<br><br>This invitation is open to Fedora people who want to help Martin, I and the rest of the team out on Fedora ARM on OLPC XO 1.75 :-)<br><br>In the short term we're working to get Fedora 14 working for the current release, looking down the road we're also working with the Fedora group that's doing the hardfp bringup so we can maximise the performance of the device :-)<br>
<br>I've already poked a few people about them.<br><br>Any queries about it feel free to ask me.<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Peter<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername">Martin Langhoff</b> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:martin.langhoff@gmail.com">martin.langhoff@gmail.com</a>></span><br>
Date: Mon, Jul 25, 2011 at 5:33 PM<br>Subject: Contributors program - test and develop on XO-1.75 B1 prototypes<br>To: OLPC Devel <<a href="mailto:devel@lists.laptop.org">devel@lists.laptop.org</a>>, fedora-olpc-list <<a href="mailto:fedora-olpc-list@redhat.com">fedora-olpc-list@redhat.com</a>>, Sugar-dev <<a href="mailto:Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org">Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org</a>><br>
<br><br>Hello developers!<br>
<br>
Are you programming on XO hardware today? Working on Sugar core or<br>
activities? Porting Fedora or other distros to ARM?<br>
<br>
As I write this, XO-1.75 B1 prototypes are being assembled 20 meters<br>
away from me. These are engineering samples -- some will go to drop<br>
tests and mechanical and electrical torture tests. Luckier units will<br>
go to the hands of passionate developers interested in helping us with XO-1.75.<br>
<br>
To request one, please follow the instructions at<br>
<br>
<a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Contributors_program#FAQ" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Contributors_program#FAQ</a><br>
<br>
Be aware -- we cannot guarantee every request will be satisfied --<br>
unfortunately, we have a limited number of units and we may have to<br>
turn some requests down.<br>
<br>
These units will be early samples: expect hardware and software bugs,<br>
and be prepared to report them and help us in the diagnosis and fixing<br>
(it wouldn't be fun otherwise!). We will be asking recipients to be<br>
very proactive in reporting bugs and using the latest software for<br>
them. And to remember that these machines are /on loan/: offer to pass<br>
on your prototype if it is not being used.<br>
<br>
It will be a fun 2011 -- our goal is to have a new hardware platform<br>
and OS: XO-1.75 running XO OS-11.3.0, and there is a lot to do between<br>
now and the end of the year.<br>
<br>
hoping to hear from you -<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
martin<br>
