 > I'll be happy to sponsor you into the proventesters group.  Please take
 a moment to read through the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Proven_tester
 proventester instructions].  As a proventester, our job isn't to
 exhaustively find all defects in a software update.  The focus is to
 determine whether the proposed software update negatively impacts core
 system functionality.  Pay particular attention to the documented feedback
 procedures.

 instructions when testing Fedora critical path updates

 [http://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/ Bodhi web interface], or the
 [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Easy_Karma fedora-easy-karma
 utility]

 Dear James

 Thank you for the offer to sponsor me. I have read and understood the
 prove_tester instructions at the Fedora Wiki, and have been using the
 updates-testing repo enabled for a significant number of tests of pre-
 release packages since the earliest days of Fedora (since FC1). I am also
 familiar with the process to add karma and comments to tested packages via
 bodhi, though I have not explicitely used the fedora-easy-karma facility
 yet.

 I have been following the debate on establishing the proventester group
 with interest, and am happy with the process. I look forward to helping in
 the QA effort with Fedora package testing including critpath packages, and
 at present have Fedora 12 and 13 running on several machines.

 Mike
