Wow, if everyone who voted for Thessaloniki attends, it will be the 
largest KohaCon ever, by some way.  Congratulations to the organisers.

Also, commiserations to the bidders from the Phillipines.  We were 
looking forward to attending there in numbers, that won't be possible to 
Greece.  I'd encourage the bidders to try again next year - Nigeria bid 
three times before they were successful.

Best wishes to our Nigerian friends for a great KohaCon15, starting in 
just over one month.

Thanks to Mirko for organising the vote.
