First of all, let me say I'm quite new to ApacheCon and there are many things about its organization that I ignore. I'll be talking at this next ApacheCon EU though, so I hope I'll get more familiar with it soon :) I'm writing because I've been recently approached by the Association Meetings & Research Department of my city, Barcelona, and they would be interested in hosting an ApacheCon EU in the future, on 2016 or 2018. Barcelona is a city with experience hosting events (there's recently been the MWC and VMWrold), and they would like to host an open source based event like the ApacheCon. They're willing to help in everything related to the organization, and can provide resources, any required materials, coordination with the authorities and/or companies, provide infrastructure, etc. I don't know how candidate cities are proposed or if there is a formal procedure, so I'm just writing to see if this is well received and something you would want to consider, and, in that case, how should we proceed or where do we start to make that happen. Thanks, Ignasi
