&gt;&gt; Hi all<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Some of you may be aware of the current shortage of contributors in QA.<br>
&gt;&gt; Since the release of Mageia 2 our workload has doubled and we are<br>
&gt;&gt; struggling to stay on top of it.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; I&#39;d like to appeal to you all, if you can find some time, to consider<br>
&gt;&gt; joining the QA team and helping to make Mageia!<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; You don&#39;t have to be a guru to do useful QA so it is a good way for<br>
&gt;&gt; people of all experience levels to contribute to the community. We are<br>
&gt;&gt; all ages and from all over the world, united by a common cause.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; We have a documented procedure to follow and are more than willing to<br>
&gt;&gt; offer some informal mentoring until you feel comfortable with what you<br>
&gt;&gt; are doing. We have people of all abilities and it is a welcoming and<br>
&gt;&gt; friendly, albeit small, team - so please don&#39;t be shy or think your<br>
&gt;&gt; contribution would be meaningless. We need all the help we can get!<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; As you may know, the long rumoured backport medias will be opening<br>
&gt;&gt; before too long (hopefully!) and it will be our job in QA to test<br>
&gt;&gt; backported packages then, aswell as the regular updates. If you like to<br>
&gt;&gt; test new stuff before it is released or like to learn about old stuff<br>
&gt;&gt; you maybe never knew existed before then QA is definitely for you.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; We want to ensure updates are processed in a timely fashion but our<br>
&gt;&gt; backlog is growing longer at the moment instead of shorter. So Please,<br>
&gt;&gt; if you would like to help, take a moment and read our wiki pages. There<br>
&gt;&gt; is a wealth of information there. If you do decide to join then please<br>
&gt;&gt; say Hi on the qa-discuss mailing list or on IRC, we&#39;d be very grateful<br>
&gt;&gt; and glad to see you!<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Wiki: <a href="https://wiki.mageia.org/en/QA_Team">https://wiki.mageia.org/en/QA_Team</a><br>
&gt;&gt; IRC: #mageia-qa on <a href="http://irc.freenode.net">irc.freenode.net</a><br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; We will be holding regular meetings now on the IRC channel on Thursdays<br>
&gt;&gt; at 19UTC. You are more than welcome to come and join in.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; If you need any more info or guidance then please don&#39;t hesitate to ask<br>
&gt;&gt; either on list or off.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Hope to see you soon!<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Thanks<br>
