Hey Paul,
Good questions and I have definitely been thinking about it.
- Finish setting up my Robot framework & set up API testing as well
- Research and develop well-written blog articles as a way of exploratory learning this is me
- Attend Sydney Bash as an active participant and encourage others here in Brisbane to attend as well
- Find a contract that excites me for 2018
- Widen out within the testing community to find ones who are passionate about testing & want to share the excitement
- Find a volunteer organisation that I can use robot automation to assist with their processes (waiting to hear back from one check them out (http://www.orangeskylaundry.com.au/))
- Get back to swimming regularly (best testing ideas happening while swimming laps)
I set these up as User Stories on my kanban board which is along my hallway wall. It makes for interesting discussions from non IT guest when they notice it
