+Graham,
+
+Welcome to Mageia! And greetings to Aotearoa !
+
+I for one would love to have a Marketing specialist in this project.
+
+This list has proven that we have a plethora of excellent artists in
+Mageia. Your expertise plus Mageia artists I believe will be great.
+
+Pretty soon there will be the announcement of Mageia wiki, where we
+all can join and expose where we can help. Please make sure you join!
