I was recently laid off from my dev/qa job effective in Jan - company laid off all of QA, felt that developers could do their own QA. Sigh.
I have been a developer since 1981 and still love code and coding automation. I have dabbled in Unix / then Linux but I have been mostly paid to work in MS windows. So as my "second" career I have made the decision to work in QA / automation of only Linux systems / open source.
I have a lot to learn about Linux but hope to use my QA testing, automation skills here wherever I am needed.

Welcome, Ellen, and sorry to hear about your job! (Sounds like your management could do with some clue adjustment...)
Thanks very much for volunteering. If you send a group membership request, I'll be happy to sponsor you. I hope the wiki and other self- introduction threads provide some ideas about where you can get started, and the thread you started on qa-devel (thanks for that)!
