Hope to make Mageia a home

Hello my name is Jeremiah. I am a Sr. Linux Engineer and have been working on some form of a Linux distro for quite some time. Though I wouldn't consider myself a pro in any of them. In the last few years though I haven't done any type of real community support or work and before that I spent some time on a MUSL-libc based toolchain (that used rpm4 and OpenRC) which saw no real interest in anyone but me. So my community involvement has been to a minimal, which is terrible. Since then stuff like systemd has been widely adopted and I can't say things have gotten easier for an old curmudgeon like myself, however I have found I am a lot happier overall when I find something challenging in the community to work on or help out with. It's been a long time since I have worked on the Mandrake branch (I like to call it) of Linux distros, but it's were I started quite sometime ago and have my fondest memories (not so much of PerlGTK though but I see you're working on that). Mentally I have always supported Mageia and it's efforts and always wanted to be involved, so hopefully I will find something to do around here.
