Hi Zack, and welcome!

There are no rules about what to do first. The Join page lists several 
choices, and they're all good - just pick one which feels most 
comfortable to you. As we're between 21 and 22 there are no Test Days 
coming up right away, but you could certainly try testing updates for 
Fedora 19, 20 or 21 - 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing - helping with the 
early Fedora 22 testing we're trying to do this cycle - 
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test-announce/2014-December/000969.html - and/or continue testing Rawhide in your VM and reporting bugs you 
find (just having people running Rawhide and filing problems as they 
come along is really valuable).

It usually works best to try doing some of the actual QA 'work' first 
and then maybe get involved with planning and improving processes once 
you've got a feel for the system and maybe some ideas about what could 
work better, I find.

Thanks for volunteering!
