Hello!
+
+My name is David (Zarniwoop), and I signed up a while back for
+participating in the Mageia dev-team among with other teams, but since
+then I haven't heard anything. I've now been in contact with Maertens
+who asked me to email on the mailinglist and let you all know who I am
+and what I hope to participate with, so here goes:
+
+I'm 32 years old, working in telecommunications. In March I will start
+working as a software developer for DigitalRoute (in Java).
+
+Linux experience:
+I've been using Linux since around 1997 (possibly -96). Slackware for
+the first few years, and later several distributions but mostly Red
+Hat, Mandriva, Slackware and Ubuntu. At work I use Ubuntu (10.04), and
+at home I use Mandriva 2009.1 and 2010.1. At work and at the
+University I've used UNIX a lot on servers.
+
+Developer experience:
+I have a B.Sc. in Computer Science focusing on software development
+and programming. I've programmed assembly language on Amiga (68020),
+and in the later year mostly C and Java with some experience in C#.
+I've also worked a lot with Oracle at work.
+
+My participation:
+I haven't participated in distribution development before so I'm
+pretty new at this, but I want to help out wherever I can. I think I
+can be of most use with C-programming. I prefer low-level programming
+as opposed to GUI, but am eager to learn so if I get some pointers
+I'll try to help out wherever needed. Since I don't have any
+experience from distro development I'm hoping someone more experienced
+could point me in the right direction.
+
+Regards,
+
+David Sjölin AKA Zarniwoop
