Thanks Paolo.  I'll be kind of scanning.  It's in the middle of my work day,
but I'll be trying to following along as closely as possible.  See you in
about 10 minutes.

Thanks,
Lee

Hi Lee,

take a look to the Open Week Schedule (1); today at 15.00 UTC we'll talk about 
ISO 
testing. I hope to see you in there.

It is amazing how simple it is considering how the fear and
disinformation crowd tell you it is so much more difficult than Windows.
We need to spread the word so more sys admins can be liberated.

Our team is a great place to get involved and we can help you find other
teams and areas that you may have interest in as well.

That sounds great. The first items for business would be to get a
'guide' (which is an existing member) to assist you in getting all the
basics setup -- launchpad account, wiki page, etc. The best way to do
that is visit us on IRC -- irc.freenode.net #ubuntu-beginners-team and
just ask someone to take you under their wing.

I look forward to seeing you on-line in IRC and hope we can guide you on
your journey with Ubuntu and the greater Ubuntu community.

Thanks for the warm welcome and pointing me in the right direction.  It
looks like desktop testing and iso testing may be the best places to get my
feet wet.

Thanks,

I currently work as a data center manager for a retail drug store 
chain.  I just recently acquired my Bachelor's degree in Information 
Technology and am now looking for other ways to expand my knowledge. 
 I've just loaded Ubuntu 11.04 on two laptops, 1 old spare off the

I stumbled across the Test Team Wiki last week after reading a post in 
the forums about bug posting.  I thought this would be the perfect 
opportunity to get more involved.  I've set up a launchpad account and 
now, I guess, I'm looking for direction on where to go from here.  I'm 
excited to jump right in where ever I can.


Looking forward to getting into the mix.
