[Ica-osgeo-labs] New email ids for GeoforAll Regional Chairs

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Suchich, all,

Actually it would be a good time to remind everyone, that if you have 
any OSGeo administrative questions or needs such as create a mailing 
list, question about the wiki, anything to do with OSGeo systems, the 
correct way to tackle this is to do it through the OSGeo trac system and 
file a ticket.

  - https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/

That is how you access the whole team of the OSGeo Systems Architecture 
Committee (SAC), a group of volunteers with special Admin powers, which 
actually I or Anne are not a part of.  (note that Anne is scaling back 
her OSGeo time now, as she is beginning a new life path)

You can also send a direct message to the SAC team, if you need to 
(subscribe at http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/sac)

Please do spend the time to learn how to contact SAC through this Trac 
system, as this is how it is normally done.  This will really help 
things move along smoothly, and share the workload with everyone.

Thanks all,

-jeff
