[Board] FOSS4G-FR 2014

[Cameron Shorter]

Yves,
You have had positive comments on the board email list (some who are 
also conference committee members), and no objections.

I'll declare this motion as passed, and you are welcome to make use of 
the FOSS4G-FR title as requested below.

Best of luck with the conference.

I suggest that you make use of the FOSS4G Cookbook, and add to it with 
your own ideas and lessons learned.
