Because the whole world is such a crappy and dangerous place - except
Switzerland - we held the workshop in 2011 in Switzerland ;)

Well, we can't do it all the time in this safe and calm corner of the

nine days a week, and the cows are yodeling - so I am all for Moscow.

And I am totally sure Alexander will organize an amazing event...
