[Board] GRASS GIS budget 2019

[Jody Garnett]

Thanks look amazing, all the best to the GRASS team in 2019.

aside: I don't think OSGeo caries over "unused funds" from year to year
since this is a budget activity, so if you need to adjust please do so. (Of
course if your project has its own bank account please ignore me)
