[Qgis-psc] Nominations for the QGIS Board and a short announcement from your Board Chair

[Anita Graser]

​Hi Tim,

​Thank you again for all the great work you have been doing form QGIS over
the years! It has been a pleasure and an honor to have you on the PSC. I've
certainly learned a lot from working with you. You're leaving some big
shoes to fill for the next chair.

Regards,
Anita
