I learned alot in that process, so would like to contribute back as I
can.
There are many places one can jump into open source these days, but Fedora's
on my main screen, so it's the logical place. And I've long been impressed
with the Four Foundations.
Thanks for doing great work in the foundations of FOSS.

Hey Alan
Thanks a lot for sending out your email, here is how you can start off right away!
You can always start reading
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Join.
Since, I see you already have FAS account , you can go ahead with release validation
test[1] by grabbing an iso image from [2] and running test cases from [3] for reference
you can read [4]. As Fedora 24 is releasing in less than 24 hrs , release validation
testing will be a bit quieter , although by next week we will have our first Fedora 25
nightly nominated for Release Validation!
Other than the above , you can always start update testing for Fedora 24 Updates, by
grabbing the same .iso mentioned above or by upgrading your existing Fedora 23 using
instruction here [5] . After a upgrade or fresh Fedora 24 install you can start off by
going to [6] and sign in using your FAS account , following the instruction at [7] will
help you run update testing , for reference you can read [8].
We are planning to have a Fedora QA onboarding hangout call, let me know if you are
interested in participating.
Should you have any question or issues , feel free to shoot me a mail!
