Hello,

I have two points:
1. I'm curious what are stats regarding nationality/country of attendees.
2. I've noticed that together with this year edition there are 13 
EuroPythons, where:
* 2 of them were located in former Eastern Bloc countries
* 11 of them were located in Western Countries

Having in mind that there is gap disproportion between wealth level of 
Western and Eastern Europe I'm curious if EPS or anybody feeling 
responsible for EuroPython thinks about addressing that problem in future?

In my opinion the conference that calls itself EuroPython (and for 
example not WestEuroPython) should take that into account.

Regards,
Filip

PS. HINT: organizing conference in less wealthy countries usually (but 
not always) also results in lower conference costs, in result making it 
more accessible to those with "small pockets".
