Last Thursday, I was privileged to receive an invitation to join the Habari PMC (Project management committee, aka the Cabal), needless to say, It hadn't passed a minute and the acceptance email was on it's way :).
And as I told Morydd during the interview, I think of this as a responsibility more than a privilege. Any member of the Habari community, whether a committer, contributer or user, is always heard, so it's not really having an upper hand or a higher say. Habari has been and will always be for and all about its community.
The responsibility that comes with being a member of the "Cabal" is that you would be contributing in making the decisions that may impact where the project heads. For that, you would have to stop looking into things from your own personal perspective and start looking to them from other's, whether they were theme developers, plugin developers and most importantly, end-users.
It's not easy, so whish me luck ;)
