+<PRE>
+
+OK, here are a few thoughts (consider them my planks for running if you
+like, even though that's not my intent). I see a lot of lurkers, and a
+decent amount of people who want to join in Mageia but seem to be a
+little timid. I think we are attracting many first time contributors -
+which is awesome!! But Maybe a bit more hand holding or other
+infrastructure would work.
+
+For example, when I joined the packaging team I was welcomed with open
+arms, given a mentor, and several places to go to ask questions. It was
+in a word, friggin sweet (ok that's 2 words)!
+
+My point in all of this is I'd love to see something that gives the
+average user an &quot;foot in the door&quot; to working within Mageia. As much as
+I hate to admit it, this is one thing Ubuntu and to a lesser extent
+Fedora do very well.
+
+This is the total brainstorming part but maybe it will get the ball
+rolling. Why not a mageia-users team/council seat? Marketing of the
+viral kind would be amazing for us, and who better to do that than
+excited and enthusiastic users? I'm not talking any pay for membership
+thing, but for a user to say, my application was accepted to the
+mageia-users team means something to many people. I don't pretend that
+any of these ideas are particularly good, but just some thinking I've
+been doing about bridging the gap between dev/teams/ and community.
+
+I'd love to hear ideas and thoughts on this. With Mga 2 coming up, I'd
+love to see us making a splash with something more than just download
+and visit the forum once in awhile.
+
+Thanks!
+Josh
