[FOSS4G2017] Kids Map Gallery Committee

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Heather,

Let's be sure to include the whole 2017 community in discussions (this 
is how we build excitement and interest for 2017, by being so open with 
planning and ideas).

Thanks for creating the wiki page for the committee.  Note that this is 
the Kids Map Gallery committee page for FOSS4G (I think you were 
confusing committees on the FOSS4G Boston local committee, with the 
whole OSGeo foundation's committees).  I was referring to committees 
that need to be formed for FOSS4G Boston (such as the volunteer 
committee, workshop committee, program committee, sponsorship committee, 
social committee).  I've renamed the page so that this is more clear: 
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2017_KidsMapGallery_Committee Now 
this committee magically appears 
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Category:FOSS4G2017  All Boston committees 
should now be forming, starting discussions here and following your lead 
on putting their notes and ideas and initial members and next steps on 
their wiki page (and sending that out asking for other volunteers and 
input).  Thanks for blazing the trail Heather :)

I hope I'm not hurting your own vision, which maybe was for a more 
formal OSGeo committee?  Can we start smaller, with a FOSS4G Boston 
committee, make that happen for 2017, and then see if we need a formal 
OSGeo committee after that?

thanks, keep up the discussions, as this is a great initiative and could 
really separate this Boston FOSS4G event from others!

The committees I see on the Committee page are big, official overarching Committees.  How do you make a small sub committee in OSGeo and add people to it?
