[OSGeo Oceania] 2024 OSGeo Oceania board objectives

[Alex Leith]

Hi Graeme and John

We financially managed to get the Tasmanian State Government to sign a
waiver. I understand Queensland is one of the holdouts still.

Anyone can convince them to do it, but I think it's a great role for OO to
take on in terms of advocacy and knowing who needs to sign what. Getting
more waivers signed is incremental, but impactful in the long term.

Cheers,
