Willing to help with Testing

[Nicholas Skaggs]

Welcome! We may have just the thing coming for you this cycle. We've 
been trying to put together a hardware testing database for a couple 
cycles now, but we're waiting on the platform we intend to use to be 
ready and launched for us. It should happen at some point this cycle, 
and yes it will use checkbox, which is the system testing tool that 
comes with ubuntu. If your familiar with that tool, your all set when 
the time comes.

Thanks,
Nicholas
