Testing SoaS
The focus now is on SoaS release 1 snapshots (based on the coming Fedora 11). The next SoaS release is scheduled for late June and will be a Release Candidate (RC). See this post, http://www.mail-archive.com/sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org/msg04104.html.

Software Testing
See Smoke test, and give technical feedback on sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org.
Please keep notes on which version of Sugar on a Stick you have downloaded when reporting issues.
- When booting SoaS, you'll see for a short time a Fedora screen showing a blue solar system.
- By pressing the 'Escape' button here, you can get to Fedora's boot menu.
- There, you should find the images name in the following structure: Soas{version number}-{date of creation}
Alternatively, you can also refer to the name of the .iso file from the download source.
To find out which version of the Sugar component you are using, you can look it up in the 'About my Computer' Section in 'My Settings'.
- Report bugs on the Sugar Labs bug tracking system. Use the 'SoaS' component when entering new bugs.
- Report which activities work, and which don't.
- List all the activities you want to get included in SoaS on the roadmap's wiki page, stating that you suggested it!
- We need to get all issues in our trac instance on dev.sugarlabs.org. If you want to get anything fixed (or have an enhancement) in time for the Release Candidate, please file it for the 'soas_linuxtag' milestone, so that it appears on our screens. This is the list of tickets, which are currently tracked for the release candidate: http://tinyurl.com/soas-rc-tickets.
