I think the most that I've learned has been, how do I put this? The innate goodness inside of all of us.
What we were trying to do here is to find a consensus that this was a good direction to go in and that there weren't any fundamental problems, and I think we pretty much agreed on that.
And that is reassuring, to see people who are very positive - five years after the first explosion, the first release of code - is a very good thing.
So that's my main role right now and really the politics also includes going out and communicating to the world why Apache is a good thing, why companies should be involved in it, and why individuals should be involved in it too.
And, I think that is actually appropriate because I'm really not the world's best programmer, I think it's a good thing that I'm not touching the code.
