[OSGeo-Conf] Nominate Jachym Cepicky to OSGeo conference committee

[Cameron Shorter]

I'd like to nominate Jachym Cepicky and Vasile Craciunescu to the OSGeo 
Conference committee, including voting on selection of FOSS4G 2014. (I 
trust neither has a vested interest in either of the proposed locations?)

Both have (privately) confirmed their willingness to help the Conference 
committee out.

Jachym Cepicky was chair of FOSS4G-CEE 2012, and is on the OSGeo Board.

+1 from me

Vasile Craciunescu chaired FOSS4G-CEE 2013, as well as organising a 
series of FOSS4G workshops:
