Dear Pape,

Thank you for reaching out to us regarding the timing of FOSS4G 2023 and
the potential impact on those celebrating Eid al Addah. We understand your
concern and appreciate your feedback and we would like to assure you that
our team is committed to making FOSS4G 2023 a welcoming and inclusive
experience for all attendees.

In fact, we are looking forward to the celebration of Eid al Addah in
Kosovo as it is a traditional celebration in the region, and the atmosphere
in Prizren during this time is expected to be wonderful. And who knows,
with all the variety of cakes and sweets, the conference might just be a
little sweeter too!

Thank you again for reaching out and we look forward to seeing you at
FOSS4G 2023.

Best regards,
PLOC
