[OSGeo-Board] opening and organizing

[Chris Holmes]

There's this: http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Committees

I wasn't planning on it.  If I have time I'll try.  I'm playing with 
table formatting right now.  Any ideas for what fields we want?

So far I have 'name', 'affiliations', and 'about'.  I'll put in lat/long 
now.  Do we want email addresses here?  I don't want people getting 
spammed, and putting your email public can lead to that often.
