There are two main things we do in QA. We test the ISOs before they are
released to try and find any bugs before they are sent to the mirrors.
We also test every update made to stable releases.

See here for more info: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/QA_Team

We're currently in the middle of testing for 3beta2, waiting for a 2nd
build at the moment, if you'd like to get involved in that. It tends to
be a mad week of long days.

Our 'bread and butter' work is in testing updates though.

See you on the list! (or IRC)
