OLPC XO-2
Last Friday, I received a special machine: the famous OLPC XO-2. A really neat machine. I have tested in a crowded wireless network areas, it work well except some occasional slowdown. Even my mother and sister were impressed and pleased to touch it. So far, the feedback is good. Currently, I have updated to the latest firmware and build 385. Unfortunately, the X session won't boot at all. Guess I will wait for the next build to better support the newest firmware which now allow suspend/resume.

How does one go about getting on the beta list?
Is it by volunteering via laptop.org, through Quanta, or is Negroponte blessing developers himself?

It is by volunteering on laptop.org via the wiki. Here is the development program page. It took me about three weeks before receiving the XO-2 machine.
I'm assuming you volunteered for hardware related dev?
(The link pointed back to the comments page...)
Yes, especially for the mesh network. I often report the issue via IRC channel. Remember the participation is open to the public. Depending of the availability of XO-2 machine, you can get one for testing purpose.
