[Board] motions for the meeting 2014-09-13

[Jeff McKenna]

Thanks Jachym, it was a super productive meeting, and meeting face to 
face as a Board is very helpful to tackle the items. (We definitely put 
the space to good use, as the meeting went from 08:00 to around 16:00, 
including all of the related meetings).  We might even consider 
following up with another face-to-face Board meeting (call it a 'Board 
sprint' if you wish) at some point soon.  It could be in an 
"CET-timezone-friendly" location, as most of our Board members live in 
that zone.

Thanks for taking the minutes.  My motions follow.

Thanks again for everyone taking their time on a Saturday, remotely or 
locally, to give your thoughts to help our strong community.

Hoping to see you all again soon.

Yours always,

-jeff

I'm excited to continue growing our worldwide community.  If anything is 
clear from this event, we have a very unique community that is 
attracting attention from all over the globe.  We are doing something 
right then! :)

I don't think this is a motion, correct?

But I do support keeping our mission statement as-is, and highlighting 
the goals of our key aspects to our community (education, sprints, 
FOSS4G,...).

+1 Thanks Mike!  I know he will be an excellent treasurer.  And thanks 
for Daniel for donating so much of his time in this role!
