Hi Rich, For the Apache CloudStack project I could say there are two main people involved in the community work: - Daan Hoogland - he is the person heavily engaged in the dev side, suggesting new committers, welcoming and helping them. - me - I am more on the marketing - events, website works, blogs, etc.
I think we may be able to find at least 1-2 more people who are heavily engaged in the community work.
