If international companies, such IBM, HP, Sun, and so on, want to bring money,
the conference place should not be a problem. If you've got contacts on
companies that could donate, go on! If they are serious, "where" would not be
the question they'll ask you. The question will be "what"...  :)

Sun has enough money to do it everywhere. In fact, I think that the main
part of GNOME developers at Sun is based at India, isn't it?

In fact, Sun dows this everywhere around in the world, as other big companies
do. Please, don't forget what international means.

I agree with Antonio: USA is not the only option "against" Europe. In fact,
this Conference was born for european people, and know it's full international.

The world is big enough to find a place, don't you think so? And, in another
point of view, if the money is in USA, maybe USA people should move and let
the poor rest of the world citizens like me other choices.
:P
