[OSGeo-Discuss] Fwd: Board nomination: Jeff McKenna

[Jeff McKenna]

Thank you for the kind support Vicky, looking forward to seeing you soon 
and having long OSGeo talks at FOSS4G-Sotm-Argentina (continued from our 
great talks at FOSS4G-Seoul).  I'll bring the old OSGeo banner, so we 
can help setup a little OSGeo booth there (on my to-do is to order an 
updated banner, as I go to so many local FOSS4G events it's a good 
investment for me, to help promote OSGeo), and we can print your Summer 
of Code flyers there as well.  See you soon!

PS. my goal is to respond to all nomination messages today, lots to do 
for OSGeo always ha!
