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]
