[IAEP] [Sugar-devel] [SoaS] A Hardware Effort: Please Help!

[David Farning]

Hardware testing might be a good thing to do at Sugar gatherings such
as Sugar Camp Europe next month.  Invite participates to bring their
favorite laptop and see if they can get it to work in that controlled
environment.

This would promote a number of on-ramp activities:
Shift the focus from talking about Sugar to using and testing Sugar.
Introduce the notion of filing bug against failed equipment.
Bring bug triage team activities to the forefront.
