One thing I do want to add:

I think that lots of small actions put in by lots of people can make a 
huge difference. Mark, your contributions have made huge differences; the 
number of people I've met who are enthusiastic about the git mission just 
keeps growing. And it only became a reality thanks to the big push that 
others put in during that month to make it of release quality.

The post is really a note to myself, reminding me that we move faster if 
there's someone making sure that we are all cooperating well. I see that 
something I have contributed.

Others are totally invited to also move the project forward; I think 
technically speaking, the Login Team has enough power to change nearly 
anything I can.

Do recall that the blog post is actually totally made-up; it wasn't 
originally about me or OpenHatch at all. I believe that we are doing 
pretty well, actually; I just also took the email as a reminder that you 
all deserve more of my focus so that this project we all work on can 
succeed.
