<div id=":1as">We can identified interested countries first, then we can discuss on<br>
the bi-weekly meeting which is the best area to host the event. Yes if<br>
we need more info to decide then we can ask the teams to have them on<br>
a wiki page like who are the organizing team and so on. ....... Then<br>
considering every aspect we can come to a conclusion avoiding all the<br>
hard work and competition. I dont like going for a election and<br>
voting. i think we need to discuss more and pick the best place<br>
because we need to **spread the project with in the region** and that<br>
is the only goal behind. Therefore without voting it is possible to<br>
discuss with team and come to an mutual agreement through mutual<br>
understanding and so that way we can select the next host with no<br>

<li>The team in confirmed location prepare on time.</li><li>Reduce conflicts by transparency on selection process.</li></ol> </div><div>I do not agree about any pre-decision before voting, as this may make the election and voting a meaningless event. As long as FAmSCo and Board have the power of final decision (in respect to overall views of regional communities), let's keep the choices in between 2 to 3 for assessment. Forcing a unnatural mutual agreement may save us some time, may also increase much risk.</div>
<div><br></div><div>After my attendance of FUDCon 2012 in KL, Malaysia; in terms of community mature level of Fedora, IMO China (Hong Kong, Taiwan or greater China) are not good enough for holding a FUDCon without help from foreign communities. Especially when Beijing applied for FUDCon 2011, there was gbraad (he's still there but looked much busy now) more capable to make things happen. </div>
