Carlos,

I doubt you can see me right now, but I have a very big smile on my 
face.

I remember you first from gerrit - high quality submissions and 
reviews.  Then there was the Shanghai PTG, where I saw you help make 
everyone welcome, help ensure that everyone got heard, and fill in 
with tasks to help out with the group when there were gaps.  That's 
when I knew you'd be a great leader.

Thanks for "stepping up."
