[Incubator] osgeo innovator, experiment, community, builder, shed, barn, garage, ...

Thanks for setting that up, my money is on "Technology" (no projects) - and
not all the suggestions were serious (but good to have them on the survey).
I think a project like pgRouting (or MetaCRS) could happily display an
"OSGeo Technology" logo and feel it was appropriate.

After this survey result is in I would like us to make a motion we can take
to the board. The other half of that motion is what we should be discussing
:)
