Hello Jim! Glad to have you! Have a look at our wiki page if you haven't 
yet, particularly the 'Next Steps' section. Look through the activities 
page, and depending on your time and interest have a look at the 
qatracker and the isos and packages out there now available for testing.

Let us know if you need any help, and welcome! Stay tuned to the list 
for special testing events as well. And as always, feel free to ask 
questions.

Have a great weekend,

Nicholas
