Maybe we should try to be less geographically focused and more focused on economy ranking? Or have a scoring criteria that has several perspectives into account? Like, if you are hosting in the same continent as last FOSS4G, you won't get as much points as if it is in the other side of the world.<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Probably this discussion should be done for the next RfP because now it is late</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Best</div><div dir="auto">Luca</div></div>
