Hi Everybody, how are you?
I use Fedora linux since 2011, unfortunately only as an user. I'm looking
forward to contribute with the community and with this operacional system.
I'm very happy to join at Fedora QA team. o//
So, about me: My name is Hussama Ismail, I'm 24 years old and I
live in
Manaus, Brazil. Currently, I work as a Systems Analyst, creating some
applications for android platform at FPF Tech (an non profit foundation in
my country), and doing some researches about Formal Software Verification at
Federal University of Amazonas (UFAM). Thank you in advance for the
opportunity.
could you give me some tips about:
1) How can I start?
2) Do you recommend some document for the tasks?
Hello Hussama, welcome!
Here's a document with some basic introduction information:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Join
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA
(Our wiki documentation is not in the best shape, sorry for that, we welcome any
improvements.)
As the simplest way to contribute, I'd recommend you testing proposed updates for F22
or F23 in its updates-testing repository and reporting feedback to Bodhi. Also, very soon
we will be branching Rawhide into F24 and work on stabilizing F24 (see schedule [1]). We
will welcome any help in testing installer/desktop/server/cloud and filling out test
matrices in wiki. We send information about new composes regularly into test-announce
mailing list. You can start even now, by running Rawhide in a virtual machine (or directly
on your PC, if you feel adventurous) and reporting all bugs you find into Bugzilla.
If you have any questions, please ask here or on #fedora-qa irc channel.
Thanks!
Kamil
