Tuxest, thank you so much for sharing your story and welcome. I think 
you'll fit in great here :-) ISTQB tests are great things -- I wish you 
luck on your learning!

Here's a couple links if you haven't already seen them to get you 
started on what's out there. Please, do ask questions, and let us help 
you get started on contributing some results or writing some new testcases.

We hang out here on the mailing list, but real-time communication is 
really nice too. We're on freenode on IRC, #ubuntu-quality. You can use 
your own irc client, or just hit the link below. Stop by and feel free 
to get some real-time help and chatting :-)

Perhaps most importantly, we've got some UDS sessions planned this week! 
We need everyone's feedback and input to help move us as a team forward. 
Since your new, you have excellent perspective, and it's a great way to 
get involved by helping with the work items we come up with. If your 
able, do plan to attend.

Hope to hear more from you soon,

Nicholas
