+There are two main things we do in QA. We test the ISOs before they are
+released to try and find any bugs before they are sent to the mirrors.
+We also test every update made to stable releases.
+
+See here for more info: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/QA_Team
+
+We're currently in the middle of testing for 3beta2, waiting for a 2nd
+build at the moment, if you'd like to get involved in that. It tends to
+be a mad week of long days.
+
+Our 'bread and butter' work is in testing updates though.
+
+See you on the list! (or IRC)
