<PRE>Hi Rob,
I'm contacting you in my role as packager mentoring coordinator.
(continued below)

</I>><i> I develop software [and hardware] for a living, *but* this is little
</I>><i> embedded programs that work on processors with a few k of RAM and up
</I>><i> to 256k of flash memory. The up-side to this is that I understand

</I>><i>
</I>><i> So, if someone is willing to work with me and hand-hold me in learning

</I>><i> community. I am constantly learning new stuff in my job and certainly
</I>><i> willing and able to learn how to do this.

</I>Since Mageia 2 is now released, and experienced packagers (potential
mentors) don't have all their free time occupied by the release process,
now is a good time to start the mentoring process.
The first step is to get a Mageia Identity from
<A HREF="http://identity.mageia.org/,">http://identity.mageia.org/,</A> if you haven't already done so. (This is
used for virtually all interaction on Mageia.)
The next step is, ideally, to post your information at
<A HREF="https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Becoming_a_Mageia_Packager#Packaging_apprentice_candidates.">https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Becoming_a_Mageia_Packager#Packaging_apprentice_candidates.</A>
Potential mentors can then refer to this list to find the most
appropriate apprentices.
If you like, I can do that for you -- just let me know your Mageia Id.
(I'll use the info in your post)
Also it is very useful to hang out IRC (freenode #mageia-mentoring -or-
#mageia-dev),
as well as posting to the mageia-dev list as you did.
In the next day or so I will be putting my regular post on the -dev
list, of potential packagers looking for a mentor. I'd like to have
your name on it.
Regards :)

André
