[OSGeo-UK] FOSS4G-EU Local Chapter

[Jo Cook]

Hi Till,

Despite current events in the UK, OSGeo:UK are in favour of an EU chapter.
Personally, after reviewing the wiki page, I'd like to see some text about
the legal structure before agreeing 100%, even if there's just an outline
of what is proposed.

Thanks

Jo
