Stephen, great to hear from you! 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.
Looking forward to working with you,
Nicholas

Hello Stephen, welcome aboard =)
In the QA team there a lot of things you can do, from writing manual testcases
(which are basically tutorials in how to use Ubuntu applications to check they
actually work) to play with the more edge Ubuntu technologies, mir, ubuntu
touch,
etc. So please check out this page:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Activities
And see what you would like to help us with, also in addition, don't forget to
join
our channel #ubuntu-quality and say hello, we surely can help you to help us =)
Also don't forget to review https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UsingDevelopmentReleases it
has instructions to deploy the latest development Ubuntu version, which you
will probably need if you want to help us with testing.
I'll be looking forward for collaborating with you.

Hi, my name is Stephen I have just started using Ubuntu with Ubuntu 12.10 I
switched over from windows seven and I don't ever want to go back. I can do
a lot for the Ubuntu testing community because I have worked with other
operating systems and nothing compares to Ubuntu and I can spot glitches
all the time. I love working with computers and I am really good at it. I
taught myself how to work with computer and now I am fixing computers for
my friends and family. Also I have always wanted to be ether a computer
tester or a operating system tester so I can help fix problems before the
system comes out. Thank you for reading and I hope to hear back from you
guys soon.
