No problems at all. I understand that you have other commitments.

I also think it is a good tradition to continue. I will be reporting on it.

I will start by searching about how to add libraries and how to compile it since my project requires it. I will do some searching in the documentation and If I got stuck in something, I will ask here and/or the IRC channel.

I think that becoming a regular contributor is interesting. I will let you know immediately.
Thanks for your time,
