<div dir="ltr">Hello Developers,  I'd like everyone to give a warm welcome to Michael Casadevall (<a href="https://launchpad.net/%7Esonicmctails" target="_blank">https://launchpad.net/~sonicmctails</a>) who (after impressing me with his kung-foo) is joining the Xubuntu Team as a Xubuntu Developer. Michael is an exceptionally dedicated individual with a strong, diversified pool of talent and skill who is eagerly working towards becoming a MOTU. Michael, an Xfce4 user for close to a year, will be assisting us with general packaging and development tasks for the most part but I'm sure his keen ability to fix FTBFS; experience with ports, debian, and gnome; and demonstrated initiative in other teams to identify and refine infrastructure and processes for the better will be a huge asset to our team. In fact, I think Michael is tackling packaging the unreleased alpha of xfce 4.6 into our team PPA as we speak :-). You can contact Michael via e-mail at <a href="mailto:sonicmctails@gmail.com" target="_blank">sonicmctails@gmail.com</a> or tackle him on IRC in #xubuntu-devel (look for NCommander). Cheers, -- Cody A.W.
