Introduction

[D L]

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!

On getting started

[D L]

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!
