My name is Joel Maher, and I am a QA Engineer with Mozilla working to bringing Firefox to the mobile platform. I really enjoy writing and modifying tools to save time and automate little tasks. You might also find me writing about some tool or technology that I find interesting or useful, and every once in a while some never ending post that has tons of calculations mixed with social observations and common sense.

Hi Joel, I’m very much interested in “Quarter of Contribution project”, please please let me know, how can i be part of it.Thank you so much 🙂
Hi Manoj, I am excited to hear about your interest- I do encourage you to stop by #ateam on irc.mozilla.org and introduce yourself- find some bugs in http://www.joshmatthews.net/bugsahoy/?build=1&releng=1&automation=1 that interest you and we can get you familiar with working in open source. It might be a few more months before another QoC project comes up- but I would love for you to be ready to jump in and tackle something challenging!
