[Koha] KohaCon27 will be hosted in Istanbul, Türkiye!

[Paul Poulain]

Wow, the proposal is really impressive ! And it is available in 5 
languages, including Maori !

I see one problem though. The venue capacity : a very tiny 4200 seats. 
That's too small !!! (PS: kidding :D )

Very excited by this choice !

The community there has long been a quiet but substantial force in the ecosystem, and it is wonderful to see that translate into hosting the global conference.
