Thanks Alessio for sharing details. Does fedora also pay for the efforts users put on? Or this is public interest only?

Hello Khbaib, and welcome.

Do you have a FAS account? If yes, what is your username?

This list will get updates on different testing related activities.
Subscribing the test-announce mailing list [0] could be useful as well.

You can start to test updates in Bodhi [1] for Fedora 34 and Fedora 35.
Update testing is where a tester tests a package and gives out a +1
Karma for PASS and -1 Karma for FAIL. You can go to
bodhi.fedoraproject.org where you can sort the packages with Fedora
Releases and tags viz "pending" & "testing". You can read much about
update testing here [2]. You can also use the RPM package fedora-easy-
karma for giving out feedbacks from the command line for the installed
packages (enable the updates-testing repository!).

Running release validation tests [3] [4] could be useful, even if we
are still on Rawhide.

We usually involve ourselves in activities marked in [5], you can catch
us mostly at #fedora-qa on freenode IRC, Matrix or Telegram.

A test day [6] is coming in the upcoming weeks: stay tuned.

If you have any question, please ask!
