Discussion about Mercurial 4.8 Sprint

Hello everyone!

I want to bring up a discussion about the next location for the sprint.
In my recent travels, I talked with ~10 people who expressed some
reservations about being able to make the next sprint if it is held in
Japan.

I was a bit bummed out but that was for selfish reasons (because I've
wanted to go to Japan for so long!). But I’m now convinced that the next
sprint should stay in Europe.

The major reasons for me are:

- a lot of Europeans were (and still are) unable to travel to the US
  easily; therefore, weren't able to make it to the last sprint

- since people weren't able to make it to the last sprint (me
  included!), there was a tradition of having the 2nd sprint of the year
  in Europe. This would be ~15 people for the 4.8 sprint

So, I was thinking of proposing the following compromise: having the 4.8
sprint in Europe and inserting Japan into the rotation after that (e.g.
5.0 is in Japan and 5.2 is in North America).

Thoughts? Discussion?
