Hi. Really, elfy, not supposed to be attacking you, but then Facebook is indeed the most popular social networking system around (though it's stock prices keeps falling down:) We do need, I think, advertising for QA. People will mainly think that contributing to Ubuntu means coding ad writing documentation, which is indeed a incorrect thought.
I do agree that the social platform for Ubuntu QA is non-technical. If we really are a bit to technical, in the end no one will do QA for ourselves. But then, social platform is indeed the newest way to communicate, so I have no problems in it. We really need to have a suitable way to promote Ubuntu QA and Testing.
