Thank you very much for volunteering.  BIG +1 from me.

The key skill of a chair is not knowledge, its ability to listen and carry
out the consensus of the group.  Although I think your hands-on knowledge
is excellent, because you run servers and use the system.

I've always known you to put the needs of the community first, and
selflessly help the grass roots.  You will also learn alot.

The other thing is that I think the project would really benefit from fresh
chairs and fresh ideas to reboot the grass roots element.

I think you would be an amazing chair.
