Nicolas,

Re "more senior than me": Yes, I have been around for longer. I might 
even have more experience. But:

1. For a community to be robust, it shouldn't have a single point of 
failure, or be dependent on one person (or a small team) who become 
overworked.

2. A robust community has worked out how to bring new people into the 
fold, and help them become as productive as they wish to be. This means 
having a supportive, encouraging culture.

3. We are a Do-ocracy.

4. We will be stronger, and look stronger from externally if we 
demonstrate multiple people of influence.

5. I'm capped out with my volunteer time, and am wanting to start 
tackling another bold initiative (without ignoring my responsibilities 
to OSGeo-Live). [1]

6. I've been continually impressed with OSGeo-Live initiatives you and 
other recent people have been taking on, and am very encouraging and 
hopeful you will continue and get as much out of OSGeo-Live as I have in 
the past.

7. Super-chickens: [2]
