[OSGeo-Discuss] Hacking OSGeo

[Jeff McKenna]

For the record Arnulf forgot that the Board meeting starts at 8am at the 
same location, discussing of course the exact topics that he mentioned 
(http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Board_Meeting_2014-09-13).  But please don't 
let me hinder your energy, definitely tackle the areas that need love 
(reviving the marketting committee, picking your favorite project in 
incubation and give some nudges...lots to do!)

Thanks, see you early at the sprint.

PS. the Board meeting, and any Board meeting, is open to anyone and 
everyone.
