Hi, Renato, and welcome to the group! I'll approve your membership in a
second.

If you haven't yet, please do have a look at all the documentation we
have to get you started with triaging:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugsAndFeatureRequests - general BZ
reference
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/Components_and_Triagers - use
this to pick a component to help triage
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/FindingBugs
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/How_to_Triage
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/StockBugzillaResponses

If you're confident about the process after doing the reading, you can
certainly just start right away after that. If you'd prefer a bit more
guidance, many existing BugZappers are happy to mentor new members -
just post a request to the list, or ask in a meeting or any time on
#fedora-bugzappers IRC.

Many of us stay online in #fedora-bugzappers most of the time, it's a
good way to get suggestions from the rest of the group on anything
you're not sure about and so on.

Meetings are every Tuesday at 15:00 UTC in #fedora-meeting , please do
come along if you're free at this time! It's always good to have more
heads in a meeting.

Thanks again for volunteering!
