I am new to the Fedora project and am interested in joining proventesters.

= reason =
I am interested in test automation but will also be testing Fedora in addition to and as part of that work.

= recommendation =


I'll be happy to sponsor you into the proventesters group once you have completed a few requirements. Please take a moment to read through the proventester instructions at:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Proven_tester

As a proventester, our job isn't to exhaustively find all defects in a software update that we test. Instead the focus is to determine whether the new package update negatively impacts core system functionality. Please pay particular attention to the documented feedback procedures.

Once you have read through the instruction, can you please confirm that you ...:

have read and understand the instructions, and will follow the instructions when testing Fedora critical path updates.

understand how to enable the update-testing repository

are familiar with providing test feedback using either the Bodhi web interface, or the fedora-easy-karma utility

Once you confirm these three from the list above, then I will be happy to sponsor your membership in the proventester group, after you apply for membership of that group in FAS.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Mike
