[Marketing] joining the marketing committee

[Astrid Emde (OSGeo)]

Hello Adam, hello all,

thanks Adam for your mail. Would be great if you join and could help in 
the marketing committee.

I think we can make a motion and vote via email - I will send the motion 
in a minute.

And yes - it would be great to have a meeting in the next weeks to talk 
about:
*  2018 goals - what did we manage, what is still open
* define 2019 goals
* webside osgeo.org
* find a new chair
* more marketing material for conferences/booths
* ... what else?

Maybe some more new members may join ...

Astrid
