As I suggested in my email to Jody, the committee website should say 

Geo for all: Education and research outreach 

(it now says only Geo for all so education has disapeared completely). 
I can try to do the change myself as I should have access
to osgeo website but I haven’t tried it yet and it may take me some time to figure it out - so if anybody has already
edited the osgeo website (or website committee member) and can do it faster - please do edit this web page

Not yet - I believe that there should be a news release about this coordinated with Suchith,
but we should finish and approve the f2f minutes first so that we can point to the minutes 
to document that the transition was indeed officialy approved.

The f2f minutes are held up by the name to be assigned to the MOU action to collect 
all MOUs in Dropbox and create an osgeo webpage with list (with links) of the MOUs.
All MOUs are already available at wiki accessible through this list, but this could be hard to find
