Hi Marco,

Thanks for your generous offer -- we had a great time at Loyola and I would love
to have an opportunity to return.  The Summit logistics group have been working
to nail down one of several options for the next Summit location.  As always,
the key issue is to ensure that we have travel funding available to support
participants who would otherwise not be able to attend -- so that is a key
criteria for deciding where to host the next Summit.  Currently, we are working
with folks in India, South America, and the U.S. -- each of which are compelling
locales.  Drop me a line off-list and we can discuss further.

--Sascha
