[Incubator] OSSIM Incubation - header file modifications

[Cameron Shorter]

Thanks Mark,
All I'd add are a few caveats which allow you to change your processes 
further down the track if you attract developers from another geographic 
location.

Eg: "Typically meetings will be held at Last Stand in downtown Melbourne 
Florida, but may be located elsewhere, or moved elsewhere or onto 
teleconference or similar, as agreed by participants."
