[OSGeo-Conf] Fwd: FOSS4G 2025 stage 2 vote results

[IWASAKI NOBUSUKE (岩崎亘典)]

Dear Vasile, Msilikale, the Conference Committee and all,

On behalf of the Hiroshima LOC, we would like to express our heartfelt
gratitude for the opportunity to participate in the bidding process for
FOSS4G 2025. It was an honor to present our proposal, explain the
significance and value of Hiroshima, and be part of such a competitive
selection.

We would also like to extend our warmest congratulations to the Auckland
LOC for their successful bid. Their proposal was so impressive that, if we
had not been contenders, we would have been compelled to vote for Auckland
ourselves.

We appreciate the suggestion to discuss the proposal for 2026, and we are
keen to engage in the discussions. Thank you once again for your
dedication, encouragement, and efforts towards making the FOSS4G conference
a success.

Best regards,
Nobusuke
