Ubuntu Wiki

Here's some information I hope will help with my application to the UbuntuQA team.

Useful links when applying to QA / helping with bugs

• Most importantly: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage

• Using the advanced bug reports search, choose unconfirmed, undecided importance bugs to practice triaging

• Check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/SRU, http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityUpdateProcedures to be able to explain why certain updates can't be incorporated to Ubuntu right away

• Also check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/School/BugWork for some great hints/examples

• And of course https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuQA
