Testing Day February the 16th
This will be an asynchronous effort, hence "Testing day" :). However we will do two kickstart meetings. One at 14:00 UTC and one at 19:00 UTC. In these meetings we will give a short introduction to what to test and answer questions about how to get the image on a usb-key and of course how to gather the results.
When
- Kickoff-Meeting 1: 14:00 UTC
- Kickoff-Meeting 2: 19:00 UTC
Where
This meeting will be an online meeting using IRC, Internet Relay Chat. You can read here more how to use IRC to join the meeting. The meeting will be taking place on the channel #sugar on the irc.freenode.net server.

Testing plans
0.88 Features
We use the section "How to test" of the Feature page.
- Enhanced Gettext Testing plan - Enhanced Gettext adds an extra search path for translation files for Sugar activities. This would allow deployments to add and update activity translations independently of the release process.
- 3G Support Testing plan - Allow the Sugar user to connect to 3G networks.
- Font configuration - Distributors/deployers need a way to be able to customize the Sugar font size.

How to write a good bug report
You should note the following in the bug report:

In most cases it is of interest to the developers to look at the Sugar logs. Instructions how to get the logs can be seen here.
