On a similar note I've been doing some publicity, but from the developer side. Basicaly, there are lots of projects that have irc channels, and many of those folks are interested in getting involved in other projects. Of course, its hard to convince people unless it works for particular distros... debian and ubuntu come to mind. But there is a lot of interest in helping out, and I believe a good recruiting method is joining the various freenode channels and just talking a bit about the project. kind regards, David (nubae) Van Assche <div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, May 23, 2009 at 12:21 PM, Marten Vijn <<a href="mailto:info@martenvijn.nl">info@martenvijn.nl</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="im">On Sat, 2009-05-23 at 11:24 +0200, Tomeu Vizoso wrote: > Hi, > > Mike Fletcher writes a brief summary of a testing technique that I > think could bring good insight about how Sugar is used.

It very close do with "DBBG" - download - burn - boot - Give Feedback For 8 people I asked, after 4 days: - 2 not heard from again (I will ask later) - 1 I asked status => burned but not booted jet. - 1 I asked status He opinion: - maybe 3rd world but not here, - can't find the wifi settings. - Abiword is too limited Maye I should add tasks like, - Getting language settings - Getting wifi/network to work - Like browsing <a href="http://sugarlabs.org" target="_blank">http://sugarlabs.org</a> - opening a chat - more? More findings: - asking in 1:1 setting very effective - asking in chat setting rather effective - asking by email => not really working - asking to mailinglist => not working kind regards, Marten <div class="im"> > Regards, > > Tomeu > _______________________________________________ > IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!) > <a href="mailto:IAEP@lists.sugarlabs.org">IAEP@lists.sugarlabs.org</a> > <a href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep" target="_blank">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep</a> </div>-- <a href="http://martenvijn.nl" target="_blank">http://martenvijn.nl</a> Marten Vijn <a href="http://martenvijn.nl/trac/wiki/soas" target="_blank">http://martenvijn.nl/trac/wiki/soas</a> Sugar on a Stick <a href="http://bsd.wifisoft.org/nek/" target="_blank">http://bsd.wifisoft.org/nek/</a> The Network Event Kit <a href="http://har2009.org" target="_blank">http://har2009.org</a> 13th-16th August <a href="http://opencommunitycamp.org" target="_blank">http://opencommunitycamp.org</a> 26th Jul - 2nd August <div><div></div><div class="h5"> _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!) <a href="mailto:IAEP@lists.sugarlabs.org">IAEP@lists.sugarlabs.org</a> <a href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep" target="_blank">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep</a> </div></div></blockquote></div>
