[OSGeo-Discuss] [Election 2016] Board of Directors elections results

[Angelos Tzotsos]

Dear community,

I would like to thank you for your trust.
It is a great honor and responsibility, especially with such a strong 
list of candidates, who all deserved a place in the board.

A big thank you to Max and Dirk for their work and to Jorge for managing 
the elections.

Best regards,
Angelos
