Hey Scott, just thought I'd echo here what I sent to Stephen :-)
Again it's wonderful to hear from you! We're always excited to see new
faces.
At the moment we as a team are planning our work for the next few months
@ vUDS:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-quality/2013-May/003710.html
Even if you missed the sessions, it would be helpful to review the notes
and blueprints (and video!)

This time of year we're planning for what and how we'll test over the
next cycle and doing maintenance tasks and work to help us. So for
example, now is the time we'll review our testcases, make a big effort
to write new ones, and work on the qa dashboard.
The team wiki has a wealth of information and documentation on
contributing testcases or test results.

At the moment, the only thing we as a team are actively testing is the
daily iso's. It's not a bad idea to start there and learn about the
qatracker and how to utilize it.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/QATracker
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/Walkthrough
From there you can explore writing manual and automated testcases:

You'll note that there are video screencasts for all of this information
on this youtube channel:

Finally, as the cycle continues, we'll start doing cadence testing and
calls for testing which will have specific packages and instructions to
test all the new "stuff" landing in saucy.

Whew! That might seem like a lot to digest, but take your time and ask
questions! Please feel free to email me again if you get stuck anywhere.
There's a group of folks usually on #ubuntu-quality on freenode -- freel
free to drop by and say hello anytime.
Cheers,
Nicholas

Hey there!
I just joined the Ubuntu QA. I have no previous experience, and I'm a
novice Linux user, but I'm here to learn and hopefully contribute.
Scott.
