We *are* talking to Denis, aren't we? He's on the list, after all. But
yes, Denis is doing a lot of great work on the location and had independently
the idea about a European Python event before (he said he'd been 
considering having one for a year already when I contacted him, and he
already contacted Guido as well).

Evidently the time is ripe!

Of course I was hoping both Denis and Marc Poinot would join in. I think the
suggestion to move it to the end of july is not bad, though we have to
hurry otherwise people will lock it up with their holidays. It was
never my intention to have unproductive discussions. :)
