Newbie RE: xubuntu-devel Digest, Vol 108, Issue 2

Thu Sep 4 09:38:22 UTC 2014

Hello, My name is Deepanshu Thakur and I am a newbie. I don't have much knowledge about coding but I have experience about exploratory and manual testing. I am contributing in Mozilla in QA and I want to work in ubuntu too in Qualtiy and testing. So please suggest me how and where to start. I have joined IRC too but didn't get any satisfactory solution.
