[OSGeo-Discuss] [Election 2016] Nominations reminder and campaign proposal

[Jeffrey Johnson]

Im also an 'interested party' and would definitely like an extra week
to prepare answers to the simple question that Nikos proposes, but
also think its a good idea if we replicate the Candidate Manifesto
page for 2016 and all of us write something there. Jorge can you setup
the stub?
