QA/LATAM QA Meetup 2015
Description
On July 11th and 12th, the QA team will be participating along with the l10n team in an event in Lima, Peru.
Objective of the Meetup
The purpose of this meetup is to provide a general overview of Firefox Desktop QA as well as give participants a chance to do some live testing of a Firefox Desktop feature.
Why QA?
