[Board] Welcome new Board

[Arnulf Christl (OSGeo)]

Dear OSGeo Board of Directors,
welcome to the new members and hello to the re-elected and incumbent
directors. It is great to see this team form and I am looking forward to
your work over the next year and maybe more.

I almost created a page for the next board meeting to start and prepare
the agenda but then thought that this should be done by the new board.
You might have new restrictions or options wrt to the time and date of
the meetings. The next regular schedule would be on Thursday the 6th or
13th of September but please feel free to move this to any convenient
time earlier or later.

I also want to thank the outgoing directors Jo Cook, Tim Schaub and
myself (er - well, you don't really do that, do you? :-) for our good
work and commitment to the development of OSGeo.

As I announced I have no intention of going away, stepping down or
leaving for good. If there is anything where I can help please let me
know. Until the new board has taken a decision I will stay president so
that this role is continued without vacancy.

As of tomorrow I will be completely offline and on vacation for two
weeks, so please no speculations as to why I might not comment or answer
to anything at all. I am simply not at a screen. Returning August 29.

Have fun,
Arnulf
