[Incubator] istSOS mentor volunteer (was: Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Board meeting 2014-04-10: Minutes)

[Jody Garnett]

Thanks Arnulf that would be excellent.

While I reviewed the application I would like to point it out to the
mailing list here for review:
- http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/1252

We can then make a motion to accept the project with yourself as mentor.
