This is just my quick introductory email to the Ubuntu Quality mailing list.
I've been using Ubuntu as my only OS now for about 2 1/2 years,
originally installing 11.10 back in February of 2012.
Over the past year or so I've been curious about finding ways to help
work on Ubuntu, but hadn't ever figured out what to do since I lacked
experience. Then an acquaintance of mine on Ask Ubuntu applied for and
received Ubuntu membership.
I was curious about what this would take to achieve (a far future goal,)
so I began looking around and was pointed to here, the Ubuntu Quality
team. I subscribed to the mailing list, made sure my Launchpad was up to
snuff (Ubuntu Code of Conduct signed and whatnot,) and that's that.
As I write this I'm downloading the 15.10 daily build for July 3rd, and
hope to help out with testing and bug triage. I'd love to help with
actually creating patches too, but my programming expertise is limited
to Python and C++ with a tad of ARMv6 ASM sprinkled in there somewhere.
If anyone who DOES already work on creating patches is willing, I would
love some pointers as to what to do/look for/learn in order to be able
to help in that manner.
Thanks!
Hey Nathanael, wonderful to hear from you! If you've not seen it, check
out the Roles page on the wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Roles. It
will help guide you on activities available to you depending on your
interest.
Alberto gave you some great advice on patches, I would recommend what he
said and also point out harvest; http://harvest.ubuntu.com.
BTW Alberto, I liked the live graphs on the wiki, nice touch!
Nicholas
