For projects with perpetually high levels of drama -- Hadoop, the Incubator, OpenOffice, etc. -- the Chair position is more involved. And the Chair job for other projects can suddenly become a lot of responsibility if there's a community fork, personnel conflagration, legal issue, etc. I don't imagine anything big coming Lucy's way in the near or medium term, though. Chairs are also expected to subscribe to board@apache (private for ASF Members and officers such as PMC Chairs) and infrastructure@apache. That's a fair amount of mail, but some of it can be devnulled automatically and a lot of the rest dispensed with quickly. I find those lists interesting so I'm subscribed anyway, but I've taken a deeper interest in the foundation than most. Marvin Humphrey
