As for a US summit, I think most of the developers that the summit is targeting are based in Europe and the ones outside of that are/can be sponsored to attend but I'm willing to be corrected.

). So, yeah, the location has a big effect on whether certain people can attend, regardless of sponsorship money.

It would be interesting to compile a list of top maemo developers/contributors and see where they are based geographically.

) even if it were a majority, it still doesn't make sense to hold ALL of the Summits in Europe. Perhaps every 3rd Summit should be held elsewhere?
