My inability to say no to more work (and being too interested in everything).

I think I am slowly getting better at focusing, delegating and saying
no. (Although folks who were in the Nova PTG room might be laughing
and rolling around on the floor right now.)

In terms of the TC making progress on the vision, getting distracted
by minucia and the past is probably two big traps.

Overall progress for the whole of OpenStack, I think its all about
retaining contributors and making it easier to get deeply involved.
The need for a more diverse set of sponsoring companies for the top
5-10% of contributors is possibly just a symptom, but its very
related.

Its the people, their passion and the general spirit of collaboration.
(I was thinking hard to say something new... but its totally the people)
