[SAC] OSGeo SAC Meeting highlights

[Alex Mandel]

Yes, we should be able to start the transfer soon. I want to make sure 
we have the current DNS settings before starting, and I'm waiting to 
hear from QGIS PSC that they will take QGIS.us

So should happen this week, though might want until FedGeoDay is over to 
make sure nothing is disrupted this week.

Thanks,
Alex
