QA/TestDay/Schedule
The QA Team will be organizing a "testweek" every other week that contains topics and projects that the community can work on. Please follow the rotational list below.
In addition, add your topic ideas under "Potential Topics", and let's make sure that we have at least 3-4 Test Weeks planned out at any given time.
NOTE: The "Organizer" for each event is responsible for setting up the QMO event page and sending out email to various lists and newsgroups.

Testday moderator Rotation
If you don't have time to give testday your 100% focus, don't sign up for moderation. Being a Moderator means actively driving, helping and encouraging community members to participate and make progress on the test week tasks/projects. It should be your primary focus during the time slot you signed up for. It takes high leadership energy to make testdays successful. Please plan accordingly if you decide to sign up for a Moderator time slot.
