Frank,

that's right. I "invited" (using the button) all board members anyway
for awareness of the initiative. Please forward to European friends.

The petition fit's into:
 http://www.fossgis.de/osgeo/index.php/Public_Geospatial_Data_Project

BTW: I would like to have Allan Doyle to extend this wiki
page since he may have good suggestions. Any problems with
that or is it a "board only" wiki (maybe I should know)?
