I'm submitting the first purchase order for test cards this morning
though it's not too late to get testers. I can continue to order in
batches right up until the production quantity arrives.
To make things easier, I've added the cards to our shopping cart [1],
though feel free to email me directly as we can do orders manually too.

Good morning everyone.
I have been working with SanDisk and Arrow Electronics to source the
SD Cards you've spec'd for the Fedora on OLPC project.
If anyone would like to test on the OEM version[1] of the cards, I can
mail them to you at cost. So $30US. I'll pay the postage.

[1] - Why is OEM important? When any sort of flash memory is produced
there are minute differences with the internal structure. For this
project we'll need to use an OEM part which ensures that we have the
same card structure with every SD we send through the duplicator.
Retail packaged cards do not have a consistent internal structure
which can cause quality issues with a duplication run.
It's not that retail is inferior quality, but for day to day use (in a
camera, phone or other application) write tolerances don't need to be
as precise.
