It's my pleasure to introduce long-time contributor David Abbott
(dabbott) as a new staff developer. You probably know him already for
his famous LinuxCrazy podcasts. He is going to work in the PR project,
and it looks like his first assignment is the 10-year anniversary.

David lives in sunny but humid Fort Lauderdale, Forida. His day
(dream) job is Golf Course Superintendent. David, in case you have any
issues with wet balls I suggest you talk to KingTaco as he is our
local expert. When not working he goes out of the heat and works on
python, chats on irc, helps out Linux users, and does podcasts. Last
but not least he likes relaxing with his friends and family.

Please give dabbott a very warm welcome.

Denis.

Hey Dave,

welcome aboard! Is there going to be free beer for our birthday party?

Nothing like being thrown in at the deep end.

Thanks Roy,

I put this [0] together and contacted drobbins and he gave his 
blessings. I have been told it should be moved to the main site in /pr, 
could be your first mentoring Roy as I don't have a clue, jmbvicetto 
also said he would help if that is what is decided. My idea to generate 
interest in the big event is to have a screenshot contest [1] to compare 
the desktops of old to the current desktops. It was also suggested that 
an alias email address should be set up for submissions.

On the Podcast front, I have a group of very willing :) developers that 
just can't wait to be interviewed. rbu has given me some pointers on 
doing a more professional screencast and I have been working on that, I 
have been getting requests for a screencast on audacity and 
recordmydesktop, so I will put that together. I started a page [2] to 
put all the Gentoo related media in one place, it is easy to keep 
updated and also add new sections. I have been doing my own xml for 
feeds so I seem to be able to catch on pretty well to GuideXML, and in 
the future would like to help out the documentation project, may come a 
time when a developer would like someone to put their text files / notes 
into GuideXML.
