[EuroPython] Diversity of attendees

[Aistė Kesminaitė-Jankauskienė]

As far as I remember (and it's been a while) there was a lack of proposals
in general at least in the beginning.  So whoever was serious about
organising EP could do it.
Has this changed over the past years and is there any reason to believe
that proposals are being approved or rejected according to geografy? (I
wouldn't think so, but that's just me.)
