Hi Oisin,
 I have been with the fedora-news group for some time now.
Initially when Thomas got busy and could not keep up with the news
scheduled, I had sent a mail to him to express my interest to take over
some work for him, which perhaps got lost in his mail box.
Again when Max, asked i expressed my interest.

I dont mind going back to writing infrastructure-beat or any other beat
for that matter, its just that i wanted the fwn to be process specific
and not people specific.

Anyways nice to hear from you :)
