[Board] Travis-CI & OSGeo

[Michael Smith]

I don’t see any reason why we wouldn’t want to provide this for OSGeo projects. This is part of our mandate, providing infrastructure support for our projects. I’m fully in support of this.

We temporarily work arounded that by limiting the number of concurrent builds for GDAL to 4 to leave at least a free slot for the other projects.
