I want my money back, I'm only growing fatter and the grey hair I'm starting to get is not appealing to the ladies. We definitely need a "Will Woods wants YOU! for the QA team" campaign, maybe the artwork team can hook us up with a few fun. > Maybe we can get topic support for fedora-devel-list, so QA-specific > stuff can be filtered into a special folder, but the rest of the list > still sees all the messages.. Then really what is the difference between having a nice little list like the -qa list which has very low volume, easy to stay on top of.. we just need to spur more interest. > Oh, definitely true, but occasionally people email me or pop into > #fedora-qa and ask how they can help. It'd be good to have a starting > point that says something like: Yeah I've been lying my ass of saying how fun QA is and how easy it is.. next week I'll be selling my Woods style of crack of kindergarden children. Generally my advice to newcomers is the irc channel, the list and our meetings, I have no idea how effective a bit of campaigning has been but I'm hoping we can grow a little army of people to at least do updates testing since that is fairly easy and has a high impact on the overall quality of Fedora' stable releases. The rest of us crazies are able to stay pretty much on top of the showstopper QA problems on Rawhide, at least that's my feeling on the matter, I'm considerably more worried about the stable cycle, those bugs will keep crawling in. > "Want to help?

Well it's my experience that the baby eating warnings are overrated, if we encourage people to keep a seperate /home partition then reinstalling is easy. My machine has been exclusively Fedora Development for years, no data corruption bugs or anything like that but I have needed the occasional reinstall, I'm sure there are more willing suckers like me out there. - David
