[OSGeoLive] Maintenance of OSGeo Live Docs

[Cameron Shorter]

Let's continue with today's meeting (It is a standard timeslot for The Good
Docs Project).
I don't think we can find a timeslot of
Africa/Europe/Americas/India/Australia that will work for all.
Once Nelson has been introduced to the OSGeoLive team, I can imagine him
attending the standard OSGeoLive meeting timeslot (which is 5am for me at
the moment and I likely won't attend).
Nelson, for your information, Vicky has been a dynamo contributor to docs
(and translation) in the past and is a good person to know and team up with.
