Hei Josef,

Takk for the warm welcome - really appreciate it!

On the account: my FAS username is "arvind" (arvindfroi is just my GitHub
handle, sorry for the mix-up). The account is active. I just logged in fine
so it should turn up if you search for "arvind" rather than the GitHub name=
.

No worries at all about the systemd strings getting lost in the merge
conflict - I'll re-upload the Norwegian Bokm=C3=A5l translation to Weblate
shortly. Good to know there's no separate review workflow for Norwegian at
the moment too; I'm happy either way, but if there's a group I ought to be
in (cvsl10n or similar) so the work goes in directly rather than sitting as
suggestions, just point me at it and I'll follow the steps.

I'll hop into #l10n:
https://www.google.com/url?q=3Dhttp://fedoraproject.org&source=3Dgmail&ust=
=3D1782409282896000&sa=3DE
on Matrix as well, and I'll keep everything within the AI policy - thanks
for the link.

Genuinely looking forward to getting stuck in - systemd, Anaconda, dnf,
wherever I'm most useful.

Beste hilsen,
Arvind
