[Board] Sponsoring FOSS4G 2018

[Maria Antonia Brovelli]

Thanks, Jeff! This helps a lot the LOC in planning what to do. And everything extra is very welcome. In this way we can make now the announcement and when we vote your new motion we can update about the sponsorship (if the case).

Best,

Maria
