[OSGeo-Conf] the board passed a motion to award FOSS4G 2015 to South-Korea

[Jeff McKenna]

Congratulations Sanghee and team!

As Cameron mentioned, drafting your press releases on the OSGeo wiki is
very useful in the long run.  Be sure to include the text
"[[Category:FOSS4G2015]]" at the bottom of every wiki page you create,
and it will magically appear on this page:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Category:FOSS4G2015

Congrats again!  Let me/us know if you need anything.
