[Board] [OSGeo-Conf] Vote outcome for FOSS4G2023 venue

[Astrid Emde (OSGeo)]

Hello all,

I prepared an OSGeo news item at

https://www.osgeo.org/foundation-news/foss4g-2023-to-take-place-in-prizren-kosovo/

Hope it is ok like that.

Shall I send it to discuss and announce too? Maybe it would be nice if 
someone from Prizren LOC or the chair of the conference committee is 
sending it.

See you

Astrid
