The en/join-fedora page is great but seems disjointed from the wiki/Main_Page. Some folks coming in will want to join Fedora and thus the Join Fedora link could be melded so that a bit more info was on en/join-fedoa and then linked to greater detail on wiki/Main_Page.

Part of this is a desire to resonate with people's dreams of themselves. Not "what skills do you have?" but "how do you see your self, your future self?". Once we open their self-awareness we can tap into internal motivations to meet exteral goals. For example, is it better to tell someone they can be a QA person with no weekly time commitments or give them a list of things to consider like:


Our Quality Engineering teams let you contribute with your current skills and learn more as you work with us. Take our quick self-assessment (need to write this) and think about what skills you want to develop. That will help you find the right entry point and ensure you're getting the right amount of challenge and development. Once you're comitted to a team one of the members will help guide you through the initial learning curve. They will also seek your feedback on how the team's communications are and what sorts of improvments you might suggest.

Quality Engineer

Our Quality Engineering teams let you contribute with your current skills and learn more as you work with us. Take our quick self-assessment (need to write this) and think about what skills you want to develop. That will help you find the right entry point and ensure you're getting the right amount of challenge and development. Once you're comitted to a team one of the members will help guide you through the initial learning curve. They will also seek your feedback on how the team's communications are and what sorts of improvments you might suggest.

When you consider the Quality Engineer path, here are some things to be aware that you're committing to: 

- Current languages tools are in Python and C. 
- Fedora/Linux technologies like Kickstart, RPM, Yum, and Git are key.
- 1 Hour IRC meeting Wednesdays at 11:00 EST, useful to attend.
- Documentation and Communications skills are important but can be in your personal learning plan.
- Long term goals may include moving to Kernel hacking, RHC[T|E|A], Quality Software Testing Certification (ISTQB Foundation level), INCOSE CSEP experience, or other industry standard certifications.
