Found it under another person profile "click on icon" * What attracted you to this type of participation? Being a big part of what Ubuntu is and to help make sure that a good system is put out for release. * Where did you look first for information on getting involved? Looked on the launchpad of the team and have all so sat on the mailing list to see what was going on and learn from watching. * Did you feel the places you looked for information were useful? If not, how could we improve? I feel that the information there is great and dont really see how much more it could be improved. * When learning skills and content for participating, were the resources you used useful? If not, how could we improve? I feel that they where. * What recommendations would you make for improving your experience in our community?

I have used Linux for 10 years. I recently became a Ubuntu convert this year, and I've been using Ubuntu for the past 4 months. * How did you learn about this part of the community? I was a speaker at the Southeast Linux Fest this year, and I attended the Ubucon sessions to find out more information about Ubuntu. * What attracted you to this type of participation? I want to get some experience as a software developer, so this experience will hopefully help me get a job in IT in the future. * Where did you look first for information on getting involved? I did a Google search for Ubuntu testing, and after navigating a few pages, I found the Ubuntu testing page. Since I just joined the team less than a week ago, I feel the last three questions are not applicable at this time, but I can answer them as I start participating in testing Ubuntu. Hope everyone have a bless day. I look forward to working with everyone. --Montario Fletcher On 10/01/2010 11:09 AM, Ara Pulido wrote: > Hello folks! > > If you have been contributing to Ubuntu QA less than 6 months (i.e. the > Maverick cycle), please, read on, we need your help. > > Jono Bacon, Community Team Manager, is trying to discover how easy or > difficult is to start contributing in several areas of the Ubuntu > community, including QA [1]. > > We want to make it easier to people who wants to start contributing, but > we need how is like to be starting in Ubuntu QA. > > I would appreciate if you could answer to the following questions: > > * How did you learn about this part of the community? > * What attracted you to this type of participation? > * Where did you look first for information on getting involved? > * Did you feel the places you looked for information were useful?
