Hi.

Really, elfy, not supposed to be attacking you, but then Facebook is indeed
the most popular social networking system around (though it's stock prices
keeps falling down:) We do need, I think, advertising for QA. People will
mainly think that contributing to Ubuntu means coding ad writing
documentation, which is indeed a incorrect thought.

I do agree that the social platform for Ubuntu QA is non-technical. If we
really are a bit to technical, in the end no one will do QA for ourselves.

But then, social platform is indeed the newest way to communicate, so I
have no problems in it.

We really need to have a suitable way to promote Ubuntu QA and Testing.

Regards,
smartboyhw
