+<PRE>
+I am a long time Mandrake/Mandriva user (since Mandrake 7.1). I have a lot of
+experience with Mandriva system administration and use, I even administer
+Mandriva Enterprise Server systems for my engineering department at work
+(though I am not on IT staff).
+
+I am starting to realize that Mandriva is no longer what I once valued. It
+seems like the community I knew as &quot;Mandriva&quot; is now named &quot;Mageia&quot;, and the
+demise of the Mandriva distribution as I grew to know it makes me think about
+how to take more part in making sure it survives.
+
+I'm a family, working man with young children. I support free, open source in
+various capacities, but one would probably not call them prolific. One more
+visible contribution is via the <A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/projects/crossfire/">http://sourceforge.net/projects/crossfire/</A>
+team. I tend to work in spurts, and sometimes real life takes me away from
+these side areas of interest.
+
+I tended to think that probably official distribution support teams were more
+likely to want people that could consistently pour significant time into
+things, but a #mageia-social / #mageia IRC user said that should not stop me
+from looking into it further.
+
+Are any team members interested in giving feedback about whether they see
+benefit in incorporating light contributors or not?
+
+After looking over the teams, specifically it seems that the documentation
+team and packaging teams could fit my core skills. It occurs to me that the
+documentation team might be more amenable to light contribution than a
+packaging team, but I don't know.
+
+Some challenges are that I am in the USA and it seems that meetings on IRC
+tend to happen at a UTC time when I cannot participate. I contribute to local
+organizations on a weekly basis, so its not like this would be a primary time
+contribution outside of often extended working hours.
+
+I guess once I get a sense for whether it is reasonable to approach teams I
+could go into more detail about what I can do.
+
+What do you (team leaders/members) think? Do you appreciate all the help you
+get, or do you need more of the kind of resource where you can make regular,
+specific sorts of assignments that get done promptly. Do you expect team
+members to be ready to work anytime, or do teams have things to do that can
+sustain more flexibility?
