I just made a new blog post about creativity [1], based on the book I'm reading, Creativity Inc., by Ed Catmull, President of Pixar. The last bit is for all the leaders in KDE. This doesn't mean just the board of the e.V., by the way. The leaders in KDE are those who have volunteered to maintain packages, mentor students, moderate the mail lists and forums, become channel ops in IRC, write the promo articles, release notes and announcements, do the artwork, write the documentation, keeps the wikis accurate, helpful and free of spam, organize sprints and other meetings such as Akademy, translate our docs and internationalize our software, design and build-in accessibility, staff booths, and many other responsibilities such as serving on working groups and other committees.
These are shared responsibility we carry to one another, and what keeps our community healthy. "It is management's job to take the long view, to intervene and protect our people from their willingness to pursue excellence at all costs. Not to do so would be irresponsible.... If we are in this for the long haul, we have to take care of ourselves, support healthy habits and encourage our employees to have fullfilling lives outside of work" says Catmull. This is the major task of the e.V. and especially the Board, in my opinion, and of course the task of the CWG as well.
