><i> Hi all
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Some of you may be aware of the current shortage of contributors in
</I>><i> QA. 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
</I>><i> are all ages and from all over the world, united by a common cause.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> We have a documented procedure to follow and are more than willing to
</I>><i> offer some informal mentoring until you feel comfortable with what
</I>><i> you are doing. 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. We need all the help we can
</I>><i> get!
</I>><i>
</I>><i> As you may know, the long rumoured backport medias will be opening
</I>><i> before too long (hopefully!) and it will be our job in QA to test
</I>><i> backported packages then, aswell as the regular updates. 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. You are more than welcome to come and join in.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> If you need any more info or guidance then please don't hesitate to
</I>><i> ask either on list or off.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Hope to see you soon!
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Thanks
</I>><i> Claire (MrsB)
</I>><i>
</I>I will think about it, but at the moment I am too old (haven't started
my countdown,) too heavy with the flu and too inclined to be abrasive.
Doug.
