Thanks for bringing this discussion up!

I've attended to the last two sprints in Europe (where I live) and but
did attend those in the US. This is mainly for personal reasons; not
that I can't travel to the US (nor anywhere else), but rather that I try
to avoid long travels unless I feel it's really worth it. So I won't go
to Japan and, likewise, I won't necessarily go anywhere in Europe.

As a casual contributor, attending to a sprint regularly (once a year is
okay, perhaps one year and a half would be too) and meeting the
community helps me staying involved.

That being said, I understand that people in Asia might have the same
wish to have a sprint held close to where they live. So I totally in
favor of adding other locations for sprints!

Seems fine to me (obviously). Otherwise, when is supposed to be the next
sprint in Europe if the next one is in Japan? Does the Japan sprint
intercalate or replace the one in Europe?
