Quick DevKey Reminder (fwd)

Hello all.  As you begin to receive your XOs, one of the key things you'll 
need to do will be to get Developer Keys for the XO.  The XO is set up so 
that it won't boot a new image unless there's a developer key installed.

In order to do that, Ed asks folks to upgrade the onboard OS on the 
XO, which is pretty simple.  Instructions:

Greg -

While I'm trying to light a fire under folks here to accelerate devkey 
delivery, please encourage EVERYONE to (a) upgrade to the (signed) 8.2-767 
release and (b) request a devkey ASAP.  That way they're in the works even if 
things take a while here.

The upgrade request is simply to make the devkey process easier, so they can 
find the request page easily and copy and paste the result.  It's not 
otherwise important for Fedora testing, but a good thing anyway.

 	- Ed
