As you started doing, I suggest we start writing down the alternatives we
have and build on that. Let's make sure the discussion does not go in
circles from now on. Could someone step up and take care of writing down
the different proposal and putting them up on a website ? I, for sure, can't
do this, even if this is much needed.

A (very) quick summary :

- candidates :

  Denis and friends in Charleroi
  Strakt and friends in Goteburg
  Andy and friends in UK

- decision process 

  andy: make offer 13 month in advance. ask conference attendees to wave hands
  martijn: membership system and online vote
  nicolas(me): past years attendees get one vote (online vote)

- formal organisation

  denis: international non-profit
  nicolas(me): PBF SIG (I will elaborate later)

I probably forgot something althought I read all my mail today, which proves
we need to write down and sum things up properly.

Please someone step up and take over from this point. Thanks.
