[Qgis-psc] News feed

[Matthias Kuhn]

Thanks everyone for following up.

I meant my statement just like I wrote it, we are currently advertising 
a local event in a localized language worldwide and that could feel 
irritating. The best solution would be to solve this topic on a 
technical level as I pointed out earlier and Tim seconded right now. In 
the end it's not a big deal and I can live very well with it too and 
happy to go with what the PSC comes up with.


This is unrelated from a different topic, that it's good to see that 
there are QGIS or FOSSGIS related event in Switzerland. I strongly 
believe that this will be good for the ecosystem overall here regardless 
of who organizes the event.
Sourcepole has played a huge role in bringing QGIS to where it is now. 
The effort they invested at a time that QGIS was still called Quantum 
GIS and had nowhere close the distribution from nowadays deserves an 
honest applause.


Thank you, let's not get heated and constructively work on a practical 
solution

Matthias
