Hi all!
My name is Danny Lee and I’m a recent adopter of Silverblue and am a big fan. I’m also a long time unix/Linux user (starting around 1993), but never taking it beyond a basic level. I have recently started to pick up javascript and Ruby to strengthen my web development background. Also I’m also interested in cloud computing, containerization, flatpack software; QA is also an area that always fascinated me because I love to push all the buttons and try all the switches. And I believe I’m pretty good at describing what I’m seeing and what is going right (or wrong). I’m looking to learn more about the QA process and how it works in an open source project and am hoping I can make a contribution in time and effort. Thanks for the opportunity and I I look forward to speaking/writing and learning from you all.
In terms of location, I’m in NYC’s borough of Queens and am hoping to make it up to devconf 2019 if anyone else might be up there too!
Sincerely, Danny

Hi Danny Lee, and welcome! Since Silverblue is a new thing, we definitely need an influx of new testers, so your involvement is very welcome!
Thank you for the welcome, Matthew Miller! Any chance I can get your advice on getting started? I’m not experienced with QA (yet), but I’m a diligent problem solver and learner, however, there appears to be a lot to learn for a newbie and a lot of directions to go at once. So far I have: • Signed up for the mailing lists • Introduced myself on the mailing list • Created a FAS account • Watched Sumantro Mukherjee’s Fedora QA Global Onboarding Call • Started following items on Bodhi Next, I plan to: • Setup a virtual machine setup • Install relval and easy karma • Try to test updates on bodhi • Visit openQA and fedore-qa on Pagure Is there anything I am leaving out? I have 1 question about editing the wiki to update test results - I can’t login to wiki because it says “You need to have at least CLA+1 (group)” to login. How can I get this fixed or does relval/easy karma take care of this for me? Thanks (in advance) for any advice or info!
Ps. I crossposted to https://ask.fedoraproject.org/t/getting-started-with-qa-testing/2736 and will update there with any useful info for future newbies’ reference.

Hi Danny, welcome! I'll sponsor your membership. If you are the danimal / dan1mal who was asking for help on IRC today, sorry, I was up to my neck in message brokers and missed it :P If you ping me (adamw) directly next time you're around I should see it, if no-one else is responding.
Thanks for volunteering!
