[OSGeo-Edu] Nominating Charlie for chair

[Charlie Schweik]

Thanks Frank and Tyler.

1) Folks - As Frank suggests I'll take on the role of chair unless
someone objects. I would like someone to agree to be a "backup chair" to
push me along now and then if I need it. Any volunteers?

2) Below the current committee list. Anyone missing? Anyone else? 

Puneet Kishor
Ari Jolma
Markus Neteler
Venkatesh Raghavan
Charlie Schweik
Pericles Nacionales
Ned Horning
Helena Mitasova
Landon Blake
Scott Mitchell
Tyler Mitchell

3) Finally, FYI I sent a note out to the 25+ people who signed the BOF
sheet encouraging them to add their names to the wiki participant list
and information on their relevant edu materials. A couple of those
people might want to be committee members. For exmaple, Maria Brovelli
who was very active in the wiki sprint and Victor Olaya (FreeGIS book).
I'm assuming I can just ask them and add them if they say yes? Any
objections?

Cheers
Charlie
