Thanks David and the GeoNode team!

process with Jeff Johnson to act as the Project Officer."

With the following votes I declare this motion passed:



   - Bruce Bannerman +1
   - Bob (CI-StPaul) Basques +1
   - Landon Blake +1
   - Howard Butler
   - Arnulf Christl +1
   - Jody Garnett (chair) +1

   - Tom Kralidis +1
   - Julien-Samuel Lacroix +1
   - *Mark Lucas*
   - Steve Lime +1
   - Daniel Morissette +1
   - *Markus Schneider*
   - Cameron Shorter +1
   - Jeroen Ticheler +1
   - *Norman Vine*
   - *Frank Warmerdam*

I also want to extend my thanks to the GeoNode community (shout out to
Angelos) who took part in incubation. I hope you found the experience
valuable, and the OSGeo community welcoming. If there is anything we as an
Incubation committee can do to entice you to stay and mentor additional
OSGeo projects let me know!

I have added this to the board meeting agenda
<https://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php?title=Board_Meeting_2016-11-03> and for
3rd Nov. Jeff if you are available it would be great if you could attend
this IRC meeting - to introduce yourself to the board in your new official
role.
