Hello,
I'm a big fan of Fedora and want to contribute somehow to the Fedora QA.
I currently study electrical engineering at the Brno University of Technogy
in Brno, Czech republic and I'm also interested in computers generaly. I
mean just to imagine the "flying" electrons inside the silicon of the ICs or
just to bring my thoughts to the "other side" and think about anything
relating to UNIX-like operating systems and it's applications. I also enjoy
learning new things about how the things work on the Linux, and for this
reason I thought it would be interesting to see and be part of the team
which manages the testing in order to find out what is not working properly.
:-)
Also currently I am an intern at the Red Hat's Brno office. I do have
experience with using and administrating Fedora and also RHEL, RHEV.... In
the field of programming I do have experience with C language, Python,
markup languages and not so markup language as YAML, also I do shell
scripting in BASH and sometimes I trying to be POSIX compliant with it. :-)
I am available also on:
ICQ: 405778592
IRC ptoth(at)
irc.freenode.net
e-mail: xtothp00(at) stud.feec.vutbr.cz -- alternative
I am looking forward to work with you!
Kind regards,

Hey Peter!
Welcome to Fedora QA, It will be great if you apply for qa FAS group. If you have, I have
sponsored you by now.
I think you already had a word with Adamw but here's something more you can look into,
if you are looking to contribute to Fedora QA. :)
You can start off by testing updates in [
http://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/] for Fedora 27,
Fedora 28, and Fedora 29. Update testing is where a tester tests a package and gives out
a +1 Karma for PASS and -1 Karma for FAIL. You can go to
bodhi.fedoraproject.org where you
can sort the packages with Fedora Releases and tags viz "pending" &
"testing". You can read much about update testing here [1]. You can also, use
fedora-easy-karma for giving out feedbacks.
you can start with Release Validation testing. In Release Validation all you need to do
is to check the nightly/TC/RC against certain criteria. For example, let's take the
latest compose (Fedora 29 Branched 20180923), you can run test cases which are mentioned
[2] and submit your results in the test matrix.
Note that each of the test cases[3] will have "How to test" section which will
have the steps (to be executed sequentially) and if the results match with the expected
results you can mark it as pass by editing the wiki page
{{result|PASS|<fas_username>}} . Always make sure to check for "Associated
release criterion" which can be found on the top of test case page, if your test case
fails you can mark it fail by editing the wiki page {{result|FAIL|<fas_username>}}
and file a bug at RHBZ [4] under Fedora.
You can always find the ‘current’ validation pages using these addresses:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Installation_Test
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Base_Test
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Desktop_Test
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Server_Test
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Cloud_Test
For Automation, you can start looking at
Taskotron[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Taskotron]
and Open
QA[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenQA].
