[Mageia-dev] Volunteering to [attempt] packaging.

Mon May 21 16:39:40 CEST 2012

Hi Robert,
+
+Great to hear and thank you for offering to help out.
+
+As we are in the final stages of a release some of us are quite busy
+concentrating on getting it out the door but when everything settles
+down again in a couple weeks it will be the perfect time to help bring
+on board new packagers.
+
+I'd be happy to help you find your feet in Mageia, but I'm afraid I
+won't be much use until after the final release is out!
+
+Either way, looking forward to welcoming a new packager.
+
+Cheers
+
