Also: we're talking about the DConf 2017 location. Please
share any initial thoughts!
My initial thought is that we should consider trying to
alternate between the US and Europe, since obviously it's
harder for those in Europe to attend if it's in the US, and
it's harder for those in the US to attend if it's in Europe.
Other places would certainly be interesting (e.g. Japan or
Australia), and we definitely have devs in such places, but I
don't know if we have enough likely attendees in such areas to
make them make sense, since picking somewhere where most
attendees would have to travel a long way to get there doesn't
really make sense.
Regardless, part of the question is where we can actually get
the appropriate sponsorship to have a good location and how the
location affects who would organize it.

Facebook have their European headquarters in Dublin. Maybe they'd
be willing to sponsor DConf2017 (there are loads of other tech
companies in Dublin). Flights from the U.S. to Ireland and back
are very frequent.
