+Great news! Seems we have loads great new packagers! Could you perhaps
+announce all the new packagers over the last 2-3 months on
+http://blog.mageia.org/en/ ? Gives them a bit more visibility.. might
+result in a lot of new apprentices though (so perhaps mention
+apprentices are welcome, but might need to wait a bit for a mentor).
+Also think it is great that you get someone who guides you (mentor).
