= reason =
Been doing testing, including updates-testing repo, for several years now on x86 and x86_64 machines. Time to jump through the hoops.

= recommendation =


I've been involved in fedora/rhlinux/linux-in-general since kernel 0.98 mostly in testing and reporting bugs. I remember rhl5 and adopted it at Duke Demographic studies early on. I have an RHEL4 RHCT and was at FUDCon Raleigh just the other year.

Do you need more information from me?

Greetings Gregory,

I'll be happy to sponsor you into the proventesters group. In fact, we probably met in person during the Raleigh FUDCon. I'm afraid my IRC nick to face recognition isn't very good though. :(

Please take a moment to read through the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Proven_tester proventester instructions]. As a proventester, our job isn't to exhaustively find all defects in a software update. The focus is to determine whether the proposed software update negatively impacts core system functionality. Pay particular attention to the documented feedback procedures.

Once you have read the instructions, please confirm that you ...
1. have read and understand the instructions, and intend to follow the instructions when testing Fedora critical path updates
2. understand how to enable the update-testing repository
3. are familiar with providing test feedback using either the [http://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/ Bodhi web interface], or the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Easy_Karma fedora-easy-karma utility]

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Once I hear back, I'll sponsor your membership in the proventesters group.

Yes, I wandered around quite a bit ar Raleigh FUDCon before settleing in to the BugZappers BOF

I have read the Wiki pages through several revisions as it was discussed here on the list. I understand the Critical Path concepts and that we are focused on the critical path. I have already been using the updates-testing repository on my testbed i686 machine and have filed karma on some items via fedora-easy-karma over the last month or two.

Thank you for your attention to my request.

That's great to hear, you should have little difficulty applying those same skills as a proventester. I have sponsored your request. Welcome to proventesters and happy testing!
