My offer to organize this event in Switzerland stands.  Since several
alternative locations have been suggested, we should probably slowly
come to a decision.

What about letting the Lua center of gravity, aka PUC Rio, take the
decision?

If anyone wants details about the proposed location in Switzerland, or
if there are questions regarding doing that event in Switzerland, please
ask on the list or mail me in private.
