Who
Mine name is Dave Morley on irc and LP I am known as davmor2.
Why
Why do I consider myself a suitable applicant. To be honest I'd never even thought about it. Stgraber first pointed out I ought to and then when I asked about others did too. So I thought I'd better look into it. After doing so I started writing this application.
What For
Once I realised that I kept coming back to Ubuntu I decided to try and find away to contribute back. I'm not a developer or a programmer and packaging still seems like a black magic trick. So I first started as a bug squad member. However I found that with the new apport bug reporting system that I was soon out of my depth with it. So when I heard that testers were needed I went for it.
Since then I've not looked back. I enjoy what I do which involves testing all Ubuntu variants against the following:
- Wubi and Migration-Assistant on Windows both XP and Vista.
Upgrade testing, Dapper -> Hardy and Gutsy -> Hardy.
- Installs resizing Windows partitions and ensuring both sets work correctly after.
- Up-dating all of the test wiki pages one at a time.
Examples of my work include:
The work is most definitely not over yet though. If you go [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Cases here] you will see there is still plenty to be done updating the pages.
