Thank goodness for that :).

I remember being under the impression that you were the co-lead of the
Art project; although that was not officially the case, your ability
to always constructively respond to and guide our collaborations made
it feel that way 'unofficially'. Up till now, we have been somewhat
reluctant to decide on things like this ('roles') in the LibO Design
project, but regardless of that, it still feels very much like you
have been an integral part of this project from its very beginning. As
the overwhelmingly positive response shows, you've built up enough
goodwill and respect here to warrant this role, and you certainly have
my support.

Regards,
Ivan.
