Hi bckurera et all,

I personally prefer the current process by reasons:

1. Teams/Cities can raise the sense of initiative themselves. Once they
prepare and propose their bids, they show how active they are.

2. If there are some competitions, preparation would be better and we
face to have a better event.

3. We are a FOSS community. Voting process can keep our democracy. We
can not discuss in a small group to decide who will have chance at a
moment to contribute to Fedora.

Beside that, preparing for everything before proposing bid is also a
good way to increase their contributions to Fedora and FOSS in general.
It's not waste at all.

Kind regards, 
Tuan
