[OSGeo-Conf] 2013 Letter of Intent Results

[Paul Ramsey]

Thanks Venka,
And to those who did quickly tender their resignations, let me
reiterate: please look past my original inartfully chosen words, and
take my call be one not to "resign now!" but rather to "examine your
motivations for participation (or not) and act accordingly". That is,
if you want to retract, that will be more than welcome and signifying
nothing about you, but that Ramsey originally overhyped his request.
P.
