[Qgis-psc] News feed

[Marco Bernasocchi]

Hi Andreas, it looks like it is like you say. I tried by using some vpns 
and by changing the system location and I always see the german announce.

We should probably take it down for now to avoid people getting the 
feeling the news are irelewant toi them

Cheers Marco
