I do not know the tasks/responsibilities of the committee, but Bryce already explained a bit. Although I feel very much honored by the nomination, I am not sure whether I should accept or not. I feel it is a great responsibility and something I'd learn a lot from; but maybe it's better to code for some more time: when I am more senior and have seen how things are managed, I'll be more at ease when a new chance arrives. Also, I am very new to OpenSource development, Inkscape is the only project I've been actively involved in. Maybe that is a good thing, having a fresh view on things. Maybe it is not, not knowing about pitfalls and precedents. (note that I'd like to stay out of GSoC board matters)
I can appreciate your reservations. The only GSoC board matters I'm aware of are deciding how to use the money. I wouldn't worry about any conflicts with GSoC anyway. I seem to remember reading of a few different GSoC participants who were board members for their projects.
Reservations aside, I compute your response as acceptance of the nomination. :-)
Thanks.
Aaron
