UNANSWERED QUESTIONS ISSUES

APPLICATION DECISIONS - classmatepc-education-application-set

  • how do we decide what to bundle
  • how do we test applications fully

what limitations do we want or need in terms of add/remove - they may select app;liaitns tht do not run effectively - i.e. if a admin / teacher / student installs too many applications then they will fill up the hdd

- languages

SPECS TO CREATE

= Application Testing & Recommendations Confirmation of application functionality. Confirmation of application inclusion.

QUESTIONS FOR JASON @ INTEL

* mesh networking driver * sonic notepad driver

* support infrastructure

  • - vendor - intel - canonical

* the zdnet education testing said that he got:
