[SeasonOfDocs] Geonetwork meeting notes

[Cameron Shorter]

I'm really impressed with the quality of review being applied to the
GeoNetwork Quickstart.
I realise that timing is bad here, but if the quickstart source RST used
for OSGeoLive is updated within the next week or so, then it will be
included on the next OSGeoLive release.
Deadline for docs to be complete is 23 June 2019 [1].
It would be great to see your work showcased in the next OSGeoLive release.
Do you have the bandwidth to achieve this?

I'd suggest first writing new text into the google doc version of the
Quickstart [2].
Then update the quickstart RST source [3].
