I abandon that west coast OS back at F16 time frame and have been a user ever since. Now I've decided I want to help. My experience leads me to believe that QA would be a good place to start. In my carrer I have seen many new engineers sent to the QA lab to work for a year so they would become familiar with the details of the product systems. Perhaps that will work for me in this new context.

Currently (03/06/2018) I am very new hear. Please forgive my silly mistakes and questions while I get started.
Currently (04/15/2018) I am a few weeks into this now and I think I'm making fewer silly mistakes and asking fewer silly. Please continue to bear with me while I continue to learn.
 
I have been testing some of the nightly drops for F28, and I have put some information on my Talk / Discussion page on how I go about this incase someone is curious or needs to know.

I am an electrical engineer, but please don't hold that against me. I have experience writing code in many languages from direct machine code in hex to esoteric things like Lisp. However, C, or it's children were not among them. I am currently a Python user. I am familiar with testing and troubleshooting strategies and techniques, but I've never used automated tools for testing software before this.
