I think this is smart. It would have been better to have the 2012 location selected in advance of 
the 2011 conference, but it's not and the time available isn't adequate. The event used to have to 
be in easy travel distance of the Hamburg team, but now that's no longer essential I would 
personally be delighted to see the conference held on other continents.

I propose we make a call for location for the 2012 /and/ 2013 conferences now, with a selection 
deadline of January 2012 for the 2012 event and a selection deadline of August 2012 for the 2013 
event (assuming we keep the date of thee vent in October each year). We can then in future select 
the next location one year in advance and ensure the current team are able to involve the next team 
in preparations as a learning exercise.
