Re: [gentoo-dev] New developer: Eric Edgar (rocket)

[Alex Howells]

Congratulations and welcome to the team, don't let all those people
scare you, we're a pretty friendly bunch and willing to answer most
questions. I'm new myself, still think the -releng crowd is really scary
- why would you wish such nasty work upon yourself, the pressures and
then the consequential hair pulling / goat abuse when you hit a mine in
the road!

Tip:  Don't break anything, or someone from Infra will break you.
