Hi everybody!
I joined this list yesterday and according to Ubuntu testing wiki then
the next step is to introduce myself, tell you about my previous QA
work, and my plans for working in the team. So here it comes.
Me:
My name is Tanel and I am a 29 years old Estonian living in Helsinki
(Finland) with almost no formal IT education. I have always tinkered
around with computers but I was doing a phd in something completely
different, when few years ago I fell in love with Ubuntu. One
thing led
to another and now I have quit my previous studies, I am taking open
university IT courses, translating software and secretly trying to
become a coding ninja.
QA work.
Last year I was working 6 months for Lionbridge Technologies at their
Tampere (Finland) branch where my job was mainly related to
localisation
testing. I had to move to another city due to family reasons and
now the
dream is to have some software testing related job here in some
point. I
also plan to take ISTQB Foundation Level test this spring.
Me in the team:
These are exciting times with Ubuntu and if possible I would like to
pitch in. On the one hand this is a great learning opportunity for me
and I am well motivated to put much time and effort into it. But
on the
other hand, this also means that despite having currently lot of
time I
might not be that productive and I might even cause problems. So I am
not the cavalry you might have expected but I am eager nevertheless.
From the positive side I can say that I did looked at some of the
testcases for manual testing and it seemed quite doable. So
hopefully I
could do something useful already in the near future.
Best,
Tanel
