[Board] Re: [SAC] Motion to provide Trac/SVN/Mailman services to GeoPrisma

[Daniel Morissette]

Hi Everyone,

This motion has passed with +1 from DanielM, FrankW, ShawnB and AlanB.

I believe the next step is to forward this motion to the board, which 
I'm doing now, and if no objections are raised within a couple of days 
then we can move ahead.

Daniel
