[OSGeo-Conf] Announcement: Call for Location global FOSS4G 2023

[Eli Adam]

It might be worth issuing the call again with a new deadline of 2/15.  I
would like to see it emphasized that North American bids will receive
priority to keep the rotation (
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/conference_dev/2021-December/005714.html)
but that the call is open to all.  Opening the regions to all may have
discouraged bids too.

Best regards, Eli
