Joining the Ubuntu QATeam

[Nicholas Skaggs]

Brendan, welcome to ubuntu quality! I'm happy you've decided to jump in 
already and test out XMir. We're actually going to be planning a special 
call for testing around XMir very soon, so stay tuned to help out! Don't 
forget we're social: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam#Social_Networks.

So, first things first, are you running a development version of ubuntu? 
If not, install one via a vm or on real hardware. It will let you 
contribute tests and results easily.

You can check out more information about contributing testcases on this 
wiki page. There are walkthroughs and video guides for contributing both 
manual and automated testcases. We welcome your contributions to both!

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/ContributingTestcases

On the test results side, we have a couple trackers we utilize. One is 
for images, called the iso tracker, and the other covers applications, 
called the packages tracker. You can submit results to these trackers at 
any time. Both feature a daily milestone with tests and packages or 
images to test. In addition, every 2 weeks roughly during the cycle we 
as a team make it a point to submit test results to these trackers (we 
call this cadence testing). Obviously not everyone can test everyday, so 
we encourage you to participate during these weeks. You can learn more 
about contributing an iso or packages test result here:

If reading isn't your preferred way to learn, we have videos as well:

Welcome to the team, and don't hesitate to ask questions. I look forward 
to working with you!

Nicholas
