[Board] osgeo code contribution agreement

[Jody Garnett]

The GeoTools project has had some feedback about our code contribution agreement, along with the recommendation that we go for a standard one (such as apache). 

To that end I have prepared the following:
- http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Replace+Contribution+Agreement

The amusing thing is, that by starting from the Apache agreement, it comes out as a straight up "OSGeo Code Contribution Agreement" with nothing GeoTools specific.

I had a couple questions:

Q: Is there a good contact point for "osgeo"?

The website has info at osgeo.org (which I assume is an alias). I have assumed we can set up a secretary at osgeo.org email address and alias it to the correct individual.

Q: Do we have a fax number?

I have assumed not, and limited submissions to email and snail mail

I will be bouncing this proposal off the GeoTools PMC (after updating with your feedback). And it should be returned to you as a request in due course.
