[Board] My attendance in Portland

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Board,

We're about 2 months away from FOSS4G-Portland, and I just want to be
open that no one has contacted me to represent OSGeo at that event.
Other (regional) events give me lots of notice, handle flights, hotels,
meals, for the OSGeo President to attend; however I learned last year
that for the main FOSS4G event it is just assumed that I will be there
in person.  Well to avoid that last minute chaos again, I am here asking
the Board for use of the "Strategic travel" funding (as listed in the
budget http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Budget_2014) to cover my
flights, hotel, and misc expenses (transfers) for FOSS4G Portland.

Last year there was a debate as to whether this should be funded by the
FOSS4G committee or in fact by the OSGeo Board, and it was decided it
made most sense for the OSGeo Board to cover it.

Thoughts?
