[Board] OSGeo board, F2F Meeting in India

[Jeff McKenna]

Hello Ravi,

I really like this plan.  I might have missed the mailing list 
discussion on this earlier, but I did mention this idea to Arnulf in 
Sydney (having a F2F meeting in your beautiful country) so I am 
obviously very interested in attending your event.

As an aside, I am disappointed (and confused) as to why we can't call 
this the '2010 F2F board meeting'.

As for timing, I will be in Japan for March (until 20 March), so I would 
prefer to hold this meeting after that.  What are the preferences of 
other board members?

(thanks for leading this Ravi!!!!!)
