[OSGeo Oceania] HOT changing it's name

[Violaine_Do]

Hi again (sorry for the 2 messages),

I am cautious but HOT seems to have evolved in regards to Tyler Radfords 
talk (in Graeme reference), so lets not be too negative, I am looking 
forward to know more about this hub in the future,

Have a great day,

Violaine
