• Want to help Mozilla and don’t know where to start?

    If you’re like me, sometimes you might be curious about a new way to contribute to Mozilla, but don’t know where to start. (And, no, not by making a YouTube video in Japan.)

    And, if you’re also like me, you might not be able to delve into the depths of debugging something wicked hard, but you want to help Mozilla in an important way.

    Or, maybe you just want a break from your day to help out with Mozilla a little bit…

    Try participating in our QA testdays. This couldn’t be easier…honestly, I did it today, and it’s fun.

    Here are the steps

    1) Check out the Q.M.O. Blog to find out when the next test day will be, or follow the latest wiki page describing everything for the test day;

    2) Create an account on Litmus when the next day comes up and then log-in;

    3) Take Tomcat’s Tutorial on how to use Litmus (this is a great and easy-to-understand tutorial…Thanks Tomcat!);

    4) Start testing the latest builds of Mozilla’s software.

    Honestly, this couldn’t be easier and it is definitely a great way to contribute. Hope you give it a try. Today’s test day will end at 5 PM (Pacific Time). If you can’t log into today, sign in next time. When you arrive to test, you can always log into IRC (irc.mozilla.org [#testday]) to collaborate with other testers.

    Just follow the wiki page or the QMO blog that describes what will be happening. Again, here is the page for today.
