Good day/night everyone!

It is my pleasure to announce the latest addition to our family!

Ionen is joining us from Sherbrooke, QC, Canada.

I believe many of you have already had a chance of meeting him in IRC

and bugzilla as he has been helping in lots of areas

(nvidia drivers maintaining, bug wrangling, misc fixes, etc).

Here is how he describes himself:

"Linux user since 1997, thanks to a Slackware 3.2 CD-ROM that came with
a book I randomly came across in a computer store, but Gentoo user only
since late 2018, I missed out!

I enjoy problem solving, doing support, and some programming albeit
I've never worked professionally in the field.

Aside from that, I enjoy old video games, and I've dabbled in
speedrunning. I'd be surprised to be recognized but may have known
me as "Evanidus" from the ALttP randomizer community. Been ~3 years
but old videos of my races are still around."

Please join me in giving him a warm welcome!

Let's hope he won't speedrun this to retirement ;)

Very stoked to have ionen on board. You might have bumped into him in
#gentoo or when you say his initial triaging and troubleshooting on
various bugs. He will help us make Gentoo great again!

Oh no, not this guy. Gentoo is dying, haven't you heard? How are we 
supposed to do that if we keep hiring people like Ionen, eh? Eh?

PS. Welcome officially on board!
