[Board] updating about the foundation web page

[Venkatesh Raghavan]

quick thoughts on the Goals

"encourage open geospatial education through participation in open 
geospatial projects;"
could be changed to

"encourage open geospatial education by leveraging foundation projects;"

the two bullets below could be

- actively engage with the likeminded communities and organziations;
- enable communication and cooperation between OSGeo communities;

concised as

- actively engage with the likeminded communities and organziations
    to promote inter-community communication and collaborations;

Best
