That is basically what a Project Manager does, and from my perspective it is a lot more valuable then what can been seen form both inside and outside.

Fair enough. Maybe I should say that I didn't demonstrate any special talents here. What I do could have been done by anyone in the FreeBSD project, but I ended up managing the FreeBSD/EC2 platform by accident and now I'm the obvious person to keep on managing the platform.

> Special talents

Speaking from my (limited) project management experience, I found distributing tasks to the right person is actually a talent in itself.

Note: I was actually surprise how many people could not do it when I was trying to transition away into another project.
