Hey all,

It is my pleasure to announce our first recruit of 2022 (hopefully of
many more): Matthew Smith from England! Matthew has already introduced a
new eclass to Gentoo and continues to maintain bunch of related
packages. Here's what he has to say about himself:

"An embedded software developer from the North East of England currently
working on squeezing the maximum battery life out of small battery
powered devices, and reworking old designs to cope with current supply
chain issues.

I enjoy writing C++ and Java, and working with Gentoo has taught me (and
continues to teach me) a lot of Bash and Python. Currently when I have
time I've been learning Haskell by reading A Type of Programming.

After using Gentoo on my personal machine for a number of years, and now
on my workstation and servers, I would like to give back with some of my
time :)"

Let's hope Matthew's battery findings can be upstreamed to mobile phones
as I'm tired of recharging mine daily. Please give him a warm welcome to
the Gentoo family!

Welcome Matthew!  I am looking forward to the battery hacks, too!
