[Ubuntu] UbuntuGIS PSC Creation

[Alan Boudreault]

I think we should create the PSC before trying to elaborate on any 
development roadmap. Then, maybe check for OSGeo incubation? Does anyone 
have experience with that? What's the best way to proceed and how we 
determine PSC members?

Best Regards,
Alan
