[Board] quick project status check and response to budget inquiry

[Jody Garnett]

Quick thanks to Angelos for the initial emails to the project list.

Going to try and reach out to officers individually (using officers list
<https://www.osgeo.org/about/board/> and contacts
<https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Contacts> wiki as required so sometimes two
names are listed):

- deegree:  Markus Schneider or Jens Fitzke
- FDO + MapGuide Open Source: Jackie Ng
- geomajas: Pieter De Graef
- GeoMOOSE: Bob and Brian
- GeoNetwork: Jeroen
- GeoNode: Jeffrey
- GEOS: Sandro
- Mapbender: Astrid and Olaf (project needs a new officer)
- MapFish: Eric Lemoine
- MapServer: Steve Lime
- Marble: Torsten
- OpenLayers: Bart and Tim
- OSSIM: Mark and Garrett
- PostGIS: Paul (there was an entry in the code-sprint section that can
probably be moved)
- pycsw: Angelos <-- did not reply to his own email :)
- OSGeoLive: Angelos <-- still not replying to his own email

For the projects that appear inactive I included an invitation to scale
back to OSGeo community program.

Thanks to all the projects that have responded, and a tip of the hat to
gvSIG (we have been using your budget as an example).
