[FOSS4G-Oceania] Travel grant program - call for ideas

[adam steer]

OK everyone - the TGP proposal in it’s current form (
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RDlzFH5fyciTqY3xyj6aSvdOF8TOSX4MYosy7YNc9K0/edit#)
has just gone to conf-dev. Fingers crossed!

Outstanding tasks:

- diversify the selection committee
- please feel free to take over leading this, I’m already pretty stretched.

Cheers, and thanks

Adam
