That's great to hear!

There's no real formal process to joining the community. One finds a
team/area/sub-project that they're interested in and just "jumps in".

This can be quite daunting though, given how large and spread out the
community is. So, we have a "welcome to Fedora" process to help new
folks learn about how/what/why/when/where the community does things.

Should we start this process for you?

(Take a look at some of the issues there to see what information it
gives you)


The Fedora Quality Assurance (QA) team is in-charge of most of the
software testing in the community. You can learn more about them here:
