Afternoon list,

I'm happy to be able to announce another developer has joined the team.
His name is Eric Edgar, and some of you may know him as rocket on IRC.
Anyway, I'll let his mentor, Chris Gianelloni, do the talking:

"""
Eric has been suckered into working for Release Engineering, doing
development for both catalyst and genkernel, and hopes to add proper Xen
support to Gentoo.  He has already made some pretty amazing patches,
which you all will get to abuse as new capabilities on the 2005.0
release.  He codes in python, perl, bash, and some C, so if you guys
need a code monkey of your own, he's taken... ;]

Eric comes from a planet we affectionately call Ppbbbb't, but that most
of you know as Minnesota, where he spends his days slaving as a Unix
Administrator for an unnamed telecommunications company.  Eric is
engaged to be married in May.  When he's not working or pleasing the
missus, he enjoys reading and going to movies, along with *gasp*
outdoors activities like snowmobiling, four-wheeling, and skydiving.

He's been hanging around #-releng enough to know to fear the goats, but
he hasn't been hit with it quite yet, so we all can welcome him
"properly".
"""

So, everyone give me and Chris a hand in welcoming Eric to the team.

Cheers,
Tom
