QA/TestDay/

The QA Team will be organizing a "testday" every other friday 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 6 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.
