[Marketing] New Chair

[María Arias de Reyna]

Hi,

In my opinion, you should not wait for the board to assign goals. We
are a self-constructing community, not a dictatorship :)

All this suggestions are interesting and needed: make sure the website
has good content, OSGeo visibility on events, make sure the current
content doesn't get outdated,... And probably there are much more
related to "marketing" we can do! For example, the social network
accounts (twitter, facebook,...) they can have much more content!
Written here or redirecting content from our community. I think that's
part of the marketing for OSGeo: make sure our work is visible.

One of the things we can work on this committee is do some marketing
for each chapter and project we have. Make sure the community knows
what is going on on each team so people can join forces.

Just my two cents.
