+Hello to everyone,
+
+I've been given the task to gather the QA team members so that we can know who 
+we are, how many, etc. In the same time, because I already know that we are 
+not very numerous, this is also a call for you to join it if you can devote 
+some time to testing future updates to the stable release.
+
+So, the first step we need is for you to join the qa-discuss mailing list, and 
+say hello and who you are :)
+
+Also, joining the qa-bugs mailing list is the best way to follow current 
+testing, see new updates candidates, etc.

+- list of current update candidates :

+
+The more people we will be in the team, the less each of us will have to do !
+
+This is also very important, because, as I said in the subject of this mail, 
+there will be no Long Term Support (LTS) version of Mageia if we already have 
+difficulty supporting only 1 release.
+
+Last word, if you are interested in security matters, the security team is 
+looking for help too.
+
+P.S. : please forward the call to the forums, your blogs or anywhere else :)
+
+Best regards
+
