[Board] New board, new roles

[Cameron Shorter]

Wecome Bart, Jáchym, Jorge, Gérald to the board. I look forward to 
working with you over the next year.
Ian and Michale, thank you for running. You are both very experienced 
OSGeo members and I do hope to continue working with you in this forum.

Bart, Jáchym, Jorge, Gérald,
If you haven't already done so, I suggest updating your OSGeo Advocate 
profiles to reflect that you are board members.

Peter, Michael, Mark, Jo,
Could you please also update your profiles to reflect that you are now 
ex-Board members.

(This should just be a case of changing the buttons under your name)

And lastly,
It is quite easy for us to collect our Advocate profiles onto the list 
of board members here:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Board_of_Directors
If we all agree, I propose that we do so.
