[Live-demo] Chair for Project Management Committee for OSGeo-Live

[Cameron Shorter]

Brian, Alex, Angelos,
Welcome to our new OSGeo-Live PSC. (Hamish hasn't responded, and I think 
it inappropriate to include him on the PSC without him accepting).

We need to pick a committee chair. The only difference between a chair 
and a normal member is they have 1.5 votes to act as a tie breaker in 
voting.

I'd like to nominate Angelos for this role.

+1 Cameron

I'll start another email thread to discuss populating the PSC with new 
members.
