I wonder if there shouldn't be a certification for "Sugar Animators" or something like this (actually I'd like to find a better word than "animator"). I'm thinking on the people that contributes keeping the community or a local lab moving on: Organizing events, coordinating teams of programmers or educators, making public Sugar advocacy, doing bureaucratic stuff needed to keep Sugar Labs or a local lab working, looking for resources, etc.
It's not that I want a certification that fits me ;-) IMHO they're important actors that should be recognized.
