[OSGeo-Conf] FOSS4G 2021

[Mark Iliffe]

Dear Malena, Caner, All,

As the co-Chair of the Dar es Saalam 2018 committee I'd like to offer my
thanks to you both for pushing forward. It is critical that this community
realises new frontiers, to establish communities of practice, and
ultimately raise the geospatial capacity within their countries. I see the
effect that Dar es Salaam had on energising the region, and one that has a
clear resonance today. Regardless where the conference is to be held in
2021, taking it this far is an immense achievement that should be commended.

I look forward to seeing you in 2021, wherever that may be.

Cheers,

Mark
