How was Dresden picked?

[Miro Hrončok]

Hi,

I've just seen the announcement that Flock will happen in Dresden [1].

I was just curious where and how was this decided? Last thing I was able 
to follow was three proposals [2], long silence and then Dresden. From 
my point of view, it just occurred out of the blue.

Is there some other mailing list where those decisions are made?
Or is it a private discussion?

Don't get me wrong, I don't *object* the decision, in fact Dresden works 
for me better than all the 3 proposals; I'd just like to know how this 
works, so I can understand it better. Chances are, I was just lost 
during the process.

Thanks,

It is as was as said in the announcement.  There were administrative,
monetary, or calendar issues with each of the bids.  In the end we had to
quickly make a decision on an alternate city.  Thankfully, Red Hat has
increased their support for Flock in the form of additional meeting
management assistance.  This allowed us to make a decision from a set of
alternate cities inspired by the original choices.  Dresden came out on top
as being able to meet our administrative, monetary and calendar needs.

regards,
