[Board] Polling charter members

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Bart,

I am in full agreement with you, in my opinion.  I've always 
recommended/tried to bring FOSS4G to all areas of the world, regardless 
of 'revenue'.

However, does 'revenue' change our view/focus?  I am asking.

That underlying revenue pressure needs to be discussed, and we the Board 
need to agree on what we want FOSS4G to be.
