[OSM-talk] OSMF elections

[SteveC]

I would encourage everyone to have a think about running for the board 
and look to what you can contribute. Be aware when thinking about it 
that we have a lot of work to do and meet frequently. That might impact 
your work and social life, it's not a ceremonial role, just ask Henk :-)

The upside is that you're deeply involved with one aspect of helping 
things move along in the project, but you don't get a window seat.
