How? simply, send a nice informative email to your list regrading the plan of Ubuntu QA Team to start a project called "Recruiting More Testers". Why? because, most likely, you will find more people who might be interested to help you ;) + you need to raise awareness which is indeed the whole point of this project. After this email, you need to focus on the Social Networks. I have used this area a lot in the last two years and I have accomplished a lot. You can have many interested people :) Tip: in order to have successful and active Facebook/Google+ Page, you do need to interact with your users. That is the golden tip. How? Whenever someone posts, thank him/her for choosing and using the system and even if you don't know the answer of his/her Q, just direct them to the right channel where that Q belongs. Start like that and by time, you will understand what I mean :) Let me highlight something very important I have talked with Nicholas about at the vUDS. There will be so many interested people to test. However, there will be ONLY FEW who will actually test. More worse, those will be dedicated to testing regularly are even less. That is why, we have 3-5 active testers for some communities, such as Ubuntu Studio. Of course, there are so many reasons for that but I will avoid discussing that right now. As a beginning, let's communicate to each and every community about our need for testers and once my batteries are fully recharge, I will send you the "posts" or the "message" we need to use. It is important that we use the same message. We would be super lucky if we managed to get testers who can help not only with one project but more. Say, helping Xubuntu, Ubuntu Studio and Ubuntu GNOME. That is all for now. Let's get started and later, I will communicate more informations and plans :) Thank you! -- Remember: "All of us are smarter than any one of us."* *Best Regards, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/amjjawad My Projects: IamNewToLinux <http://iamnewtolinux.blogspot.com/> - StartUbuntu Project<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/CommunicationsTeam/WOWLubuntu/StartUbuntu> - Linux Brainstorming <https://www.facebook.com/groups/352004991569676/> - Mubuntu<http://amjjawad.blogspot.com/2013/07/draft-mubuntu-simple-minimal-system.html>
