[Board] Funny how the world looks different outside the board ...

[Tyler Mitchell (OSGeo)]

Hi - I will work on it tomorrow - today was a civic holiday.  The  
other big thing on my plate is helping organise several FOSS4G  
aspects.  Anyone else want to help with organising the Annual General  
Meeting?  Or deliver an OSGeo intro presentation or do the initial  
Welcome message from OSGeo?
