Thank you everyone for the welcoming messages! It's nice to see a few
fellow physicists around here.

Also, a big thank you to Ruud (redlizard), Benda (heroxbd), Fabian
(grobian), and Markos (hwoarang) for mentoring and recruiting me.

Despite recent discussions about the recruiting process and how some
people think it should be changed, I have to say that for me it was very
enjoyable to go through the process and it certainly feels great to
finally be a part of Gentoo.

Cheers,
