I'm sorry we have not been responding to these mails promptly: we're currently very busy with Fedora 18 testing. So here's some stuff you should know! Both the Bugzappers and Proven Testers programs are currently not really happening: we have not had anyone leading bug triage efforts for a while, and the proven testers idea was suspended by FESCo at least until our update feedback system is better set up for it. However, you can still work on bug triage following the Bugzappers instructions if you like. It is also still very valuable for people to test updates - we just don't distinguish between 'proven testers' and other registered testers at present. So you can still follow all the instructions at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Proven_tester and https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for testing updates, and that would be very very helpful - we are always short of feedback on updates. Aside from those two 'programs' we have several other ongoing projects you can help with, all listed at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Join . There is no 'formal' way to join in with those - you just have to read the instructions and go ahead! You don't need anyone's official permission or any official status. Currently the thing we're working hardest on is Fedora 18 release validation testing. This process is mostly explained at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Installation_validation_testing and https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Desktop_validation_testing . Every few days, you'll see a mail to this list announcing a new 'TC' or 'RC' build, with links to pages like this: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_18_Final_TC3_Install https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_18_Final_TC3_Desktop You can help out by following the instructions on those pages: download the test build, run some of the tests listed on the pages, and report your results (and any bugs that you find). You might also have seen a mail from me yesterday entitled 'Fedora 18 Final blocker status: required fixes, karma, etc': it mentions several other things you could help with, such as some specific updates that need testing following the 'Updates Testing' process, and some bugs where we need more information or just a test to confirm that a fix has worked. Any of those things would be helpful. You'll usually find several of us in #fedora-qa discussing the release validation work as we go along, so if you want to get a feel for it, just join that channel and listen in for a while. Please let me know if you need further info or instructions on any of the above!
