[Incubator] New Mentor for MapGuide

[Robert Bray]

I did not see any comments on this today, so I would like to put forth a
motion to name Paul Spencer as the Incubation Mentor for MapGuide. 

While he is affiliated with the project as a committer, I think he is a
far more independent mentor than Daniel who was an employee of
CollabNet.

Can someone second this so the voting can begin?

Thanks,
Bob

My only concern at this point is that I am now more closely  
associated with the project and have commit access etc.  I'm not sure  
how this affects me mentoring the project.  I don't think it will be  
a problem for me, but I would like to make sure that no-one else  
thinks this is a problem.

Cheers

Paul
