Restart discussion "transferring code copyright" is fine, but we can 
drop the "Contributor Agreement". Correct?

This issue was relayed to legal and is pending. I put it on board agenda

for a status report and let you know what is going on.

Formal process... Hmm. I think its fine if you put it on the board 
meeting agenda yourself:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Seventeenth_Board_Meeting

But probably nobody but the board / cabal knows that this kind of thing 
happens every other week. I guess the formal process is to holler at the

board list until we work out *and* communicate how to do it formally.

Arnulf.
