Welcome Jeremie! Given your background, I think you would be an 
excellent candidate to help out with our automated test writing. Check 
out this page for more on the role:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Roles/TestWriter

As a means to understand the big picture, I recommend checking out a 
series of posts I just did on my blog. The first one gives you a really 
high level view on how QA works within ubuntu.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I look forward 
to working with you!
