<div>Thanks Suchith - I am trying to draft a blog post while travelling today so we get something more official.
<br>
<br>
Since we are a all about the doing around here do you mind sending your welcome message to
<a href="mailto:discuss@osgeo.org" target="_blank">discuss@osgeo.org</a>. <br>
<br>
There was a lot of progress made on the weekend and it will be a few days as we action all the decisions that were made.
<br>
<br>
I also am excited by having a new president and hope that having Vice Presidents on hand we can reduce the travel associates with the role. It is also good to have a Vice President familiar with operations to ensure continuity (and accommodate vacations).
