[OSGeo Oceania] Ex-chair's perspective (OSGeo Oceania 2019-2020)

[Alex Leith]

Thanks John

For transparency, I want to let the list know that I have raised the
question on the private board list of whether or not to include your
contribution in the document and if so, where.

I think I agree with Adam that we should be including your words unedited.
