Since the release of Mageia 2 our workload has doubled and we are +</I>><i> struggling to stay on top of it. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> I'd like to appeal to you all, if you can find some time, to consider +</I>><i> joining the QA team and helping to make Mageia! +</I>><i> +</I>><i> You don't have to be a guru to do useful QA so it is a good way for +</I>><i> people of all experience levels to contribute to the community.

We have people of all abilities and it is a welcoming +</I>><i> and friendly, albeit small, team - so please don't be shy or think +</I>><i> your contribution would be meaningless.

If you like +</I>><i> to test new stuff before it is released or like to learn about old +</I>><i> stuff you maybe never knew existed before then QA is definitely for +</I>><i> you. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> We want to ensure updates are processed in a timely fashion but our +</I>><i> backlog is growing longer at the moment instead of shorter. So +</I>><i> Please, if you would like to help, take a moment and read our wiki +</I>><i> pages. There is a wealth of information there. If you do decide to +</I>><i> join then please say Hi on the qa-discuss mailing list or on IRC, +</I>><i> we'd be very grateful and glad to see you! +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Wiki: <A HREF="https://wiki.mageia.org/en/QA_Team">https://wiki.mageia.org/en/QA_Team</A> +</I>><i> IRC: #mageia-qa on irc.freenode.net +</I>><i> +</I>><i> We will be holding regular meetings now on the IRC channel on +</I>><i> Thursdays at 19UTC.
