It's been widely agreed last year & this year to avoid GUADEC as an
acronym - this has come up several times, and both Villanova and
Birmingham have adopted the convention of calling GUADEC "The GNOME
Conference".

Does that mean that candidates outside the EU would be considered? Not
sure - we would need to discuss it.

But one thing is for sure - the travel costs for attendees is something
which will definitely be taken into account, and in general that will
exclude anything outside North America and Europe.

Cheers,
Dave.
