Ah, nice. Good to have some background :)

Great! I look forward to you helping us improve our documentation and
on-boarding of contributors. It might be rocky but it should help those
coming along in the future.

Play it by ear - I just wasn't sure what your motivations were. But
since you're coming from the OCP background with an interest in
hardware management, it makes sense to stick around here. As long as
you get in touch when you get stuck we'll find someone to help answer
your questions.
