Hi Kendell,

It's a great news to know you will be back.

It could be great if we could collaborate with you to make Debian 
better. We've a important and really active accessibility team.

We'll be extremely happy to get feedback from you.

If you expect to use a rolling release operating system you could use 
Debian testing "buster".

Best regards.
