Greetings
Hello all, Just going to throw out a brief introduction of myself to the team. I apologize in advance for the anonymity of my identity. Anyways, I have been a long-time user of Linux, and started using Ubuntu roughly two years ago. Ever since then, I have completely dropped almost every other OS out there. In other words, I love it. Recently, I have generated a passion for progressing the system itself, as well as the community, and want to put in my share of knowledge into the further progress of Ubuntu. I am fairly educated in the majority of operations and languages associated with Ubuntu, and of course, I want to learn more. For that, I see no better way than to work with the best, and help as many along the way. I am a student at the moment, and will not be able to be as active as other users. However, I will definitely spend as much of my free time, considering the lack of a social life, to the forward development. In the future, I would like to use some of my work to submit for credit of some sort if needed for school. Hopefully that's alright with everyone. Sorry for the semi-long intro, but if you are still reading, I really look forward to working with all of you, whether it be my starting point of basic bug testing, all the way up to, hopefully, development of some sort.

Re: Greetings
Welcome vec7, You've arrived at a very busy part of the cycle, so it would be great if you could do some iso or package testing. Our list of activities are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Activities Also, do you know any coding languages?

Re: Greetings
Welcome vec7! As Jackson mentioned we're in final image testing mode, the time is good for you to jump in and help ;-) I'll just repeat what I said about testing for the final images, customized to someone like yourself :-) 1) Learn how to use the tracker and how to test an iso http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGZF6UHhl4I. 2) Test and report your results to the tracker Here%27s%20the%20link%20to%20the%20milestone:,http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/305/builds 3) If you get stuck, ask for help via https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Contact. In addition, if you have a nexus device and want to test the ubuntu phone images, full details for that are available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/TouchTesting Thanks for being a part of the team!

Re: Greetings and Salutations.
Hey Scott, just thought I'd echo here what I sent to Stephen :-) Again it's wonderful to hear from you! We're always excited to see new faces. At the moment we as a team are planning our work for the next few months @ vUDS: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-quality/2013-May/003710.html Even if you missed the sessions, it would be helpful to review the notes and blueprints (and video!) http://status.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-s/group/topic-s-community-quality.html This time of year we're planning for what and how we'll test over the next cycle and doing maintenance tasks and work to help us. So for example, now is the time we'll review our testcases, make a big effort to write new ones, and work on the qa dashboard. The team wiki has a wealth of information and documentation on contributing testcases or test results. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Activities At the moment, the only thing we as a team are actively testing is the daily iso's. It's not a bad idea to start there and learn about the qatracker and how to utilize it. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/QATracker https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/Walkthrough From there you can explore writing manual and automated testcases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/ContributingTestcases You'll note that there are video screencasts for all of this information on this youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/qualitybecomesyou Finally, as the cycle continues, we'll start doing cadence testing and calls for testing which will have specific packages and instructions to test all the new stuff landing in saucy. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Cadence https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/CallforTesting/Walkthrough Whew! That might seem like a lot to digest, but take your time and ask questions! Please feel free to email me again if you get stuck anywhere. There's a group of folks usually on #ubuntu-quality on freenode -- freel free to drop by and say hello anytime. Cheers, Nicholas On 05/12/2013 11:52 PM, Scott O'Nanski wrote: Hey there!
