Hello all,
I am excited to begin contributing to Fedora as part of the Bug Zappers team. I am a web programmer who would like to get into Linux administration and system development. I have some experience using ticket tracking systems at work but never Bugzilla.
Over the past year or two, I've tried out several Linux distributions(Ubuntu, OpenSuse, Mint, Gentoo) and learned the basics of administration. I've read some of the kernel code and toyed with a lot of different networking/development programs. I want to begin digging deeper into Linux and open source development, and I figure that this team is a great way to learn more about the system and help out while I'm learning.
I would like some help getting started on the triage team. I can be reached via email at blankblank101010@gmail.com or on irc under the nickname blankblank.
I look forward to working with you all and contributing to the Fedora project.
Thank you,

Hi there! Thanks for volunteering. To avoid disappointment, I feel bound to let you know that bugzappers per se is somewhat dormant right now; no-one really has the time to devote to keeping it fully active. You can certainly still take on Bugzappers tasks, but you may not get much mentoring help.
There are other QA activities that are definitely in need of contribution, though. Perhaps you might want to look into those in addition to / instead of Bugzappers? See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Join for more details. Thanks again for volunteering!
