Hey Robert, welcome !

As Colin said, we are in the final stages of Mageia 2, but development of Mageia
3 (and all other tasks) will start again quickly afterwards.

We have an apprenticeship program in place, so please register at:

You can even start reading and practising at home :-).

And if no mentor manifests his/herself soon, don't hesitate to ping the list or
haunt #mageia-mentoring until someone volunteers.

Cheers,
