> Greetings Mike,
>
> I'll be happy to sponsor you into the proventesters group. Please take
a moment to read through the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Proven_tester
proventester instructions]. As a proventester, our job isn't to
exhaustively find all defects in a software update. The focus is to
determine whether the proposed software update negatively impacts core
system functionality. Pay particular attention to the documented feedback
procedures.
>
> Once you have read the instructions, please confirm that you ...
> 1. have read and understand the instructions, and intend to follow the
instructions when testing Fedora critical path updates
> 2. understand how to enable the update-testing repository
> 3. are familiar with providing test feedback using either the
[http://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/ Bodhi web interface], or the
[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Easy_Karma fedora-easy-karma
utility]
>
> Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Once I hear
back, I'll sponsor your membership in the proventesters group.
Dear James
Thank you for the offer to sponsor me. I have read and understood the
prove_tester instructions at the Fedora Wiki, and have been using the
updates-testing repo enabled for a significant number of tests of pre-
release packages since the earliest days of Fedora (since FC1). I am also
familiar with the process to add karma and comments to tested packages via
bodhi, though I have not explicitely used the fedora-easy-karma facility
yet.
I have been following the debate on establishing the proventester group
with interest, and am happy with the process. I look forward to helping in
the QA effort with Fedora package testing including critpath packages, and
at present have Fedora 12 and 13 running on several machines.
Mike
