Great. Do you have any particular projects you're interested in working on?

Our membership policy for the Ubuntu QA Launchpad team includes
significant contribution to Ubuntu QA teams and Ubuntu Membership. I'd
like to see you work with the team (and/or QA teams such as Bug Squad
or Testing Team) for a bit longer, until you're ready to become and
Ubuntu Member. Note that lack of Ubuntu QA membership doesn't mean
you're not welcome to to contribute to discussions, meetings and QA
projects. Quite the opposite.
