Don't consider me as strong a proposal as others yet. I have not full confirmation of the place since I just started discussing (I started after coming back from LGM at Rio, since this is where I discussed the idea first) and my contact asked me to get in touch again later. Though indeed the contact was very interested and this is a place which regularly hosts FLOSS events (hence chances are high). I also have contacts with various other universities which (I'm sure) will be interested in case this first venue comes to be not possible. Yet nothing is set in stone at this point. > While 2020 seems a bit far away, I would suggest that people involved in the > discussion take the 3 proposals in consideration.

I have always said for 2019 or later, not before. I don't even want to search for 2018 because it is too close now and don't want to rush things. My stance won't change there, so Paris is *not* for 2018.
