I'm all for keeping the organizational structure the way it is.  I very much like the fact that it holds together without any oversight, and I think that cooperative attitude is part of what makes this group awesome.  It's much less intimidating for people when I invite them to the Socials to know that, no, there's not really anybody in charge, and that if you consider yourself interested in Linux you're just as much of a member as anyone else and you'll fit right in.  And that was a really long sentence.  :)

I very much appreciate what you've contributed in this regard.  If you're willing to keep it up, let's go with that.  My concern was that I very much like it the way it is, and if it was going to be moved, I'd rather not see it be any more complicated.  I feel it's currently perfectly adequate.

With you being good with keeping things going, +1 to that.  Thanks again for what you've done and continue to do!
