[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Board Elections 2009

[Landon Blake]

I wonder if it would be helpful to send a quick e-mail to the list with
the following information:

How many board members we need to have next year.
How many board members will be voluntarily stepping down (it looks like
at least one.)
How many spots on the board we will need to fill due to voluntary
vacancies.
