Hello,
my name is Peter Tylka and I am 26. 5 years I studied informatics and information technologies. For 3 years I work as RedHat and Java application server administrator. I would like to improve my basic knowledge of python scripting and development process (, maybe english :) . I would like to experience FOSS environment and help community. I hope you find some task for me.
Thanks
Peter

Hi Peter,
We're glad to see your interest in AutoQA.
Our current list of simple tickets [1] can be found in trac [2] if you'd like to work on one of them, feel free to login and assign it to yourself.
Unfortunately there don't seem to be a whole lot of simple tickets at the moment. Is there anything in particular that you're interested in? I'm sure that we could find some things that need to be done.
I've included an email that Josef Skladanka wrote a little while ago to include some good pointers on getting started with the full AutoQA/Autotest stack.
If you have any questions, please let us know.
Tim

----------------------------------------
For starters, I'd recommend you to set-up a private instance of Autotest (we use Autotest as a test harness) - i.e. autotest server [1] and then autotest client [2] or [3]. I strongly recommend to use virtual machines in KVM,so you can play around and break it how many times you want.

When you have this set up, install and configure AutoQA [4].

Once you have it all set up, inspect AutoQA architecture [5], and try to run [6] and play arount with some already existing tests. Great examples for the beginning are HelloWorld [7] or Initscripts [8] test.

Of course, feel free to ask as many questions as you need, also pointing out some non-clear parts in the wiki pages is a great help.
On the other hand, if you do not necessarily want to play around with autoqa & autotest, you can (for starters) participate in the Initscripts review project [9], which actually supplies tests for the initscripts autoqa test.

And maybe the most important thing of all - tell us what your interests are, tell us what you like etc. so we can point you to the right parts of AutoQA.
We have quite a lot of things going on right now (sadly, we'll be mostly testing new Fedora release in the weeks to come), and I'm sure some of it will fit you.
