The selection process has been always open afaik. You need enough people
doing the work, you need to write a proposal and submit it if there is an
EPS call for the next conference. As far as I recall for there was a proposal
by the polish Python community for the 2014/15 conference. There had been 
conferences e.g. like the Plone conference (Python-based CMS) many years
ago in Budapest, several people already added the RuPy in Poland over
the last years…I think there is nobody say „we don’t want conferences in
Eastern Europe“….it is a question of consensus among the local python user groups
in each country in order to do such an effort. For the sake on completeness: the
2014 Python conference in Ukraine had to be cancelled for well-known  reasons.
