I agree with Alan for very pratical reasons. Basically the meeting shall lead 
to some decisions. Going from Europe to the west coast takes at least 12-14 
hours and the costs are doubled compared to meeting at the east coast. This 
will cause that a large number of potential european developers will not 
attend.

In contrast to the media I do think that most free software is actually 
developed outside the US so making such a meeting in Europe seems reasonable 
anyway.
