Hello, I am uncertain of the policy but I suspect that the Debian publicity team will want to send out a press release regarding the selection of Managua, Nicaragua as the host city for DebConf12. Members of the .ni team have already begun work on this, you can find their etherpad here: http://docs.softwarelibre.org.ni/jnpiaOUdnF I've encouraged them to submit this to the debian-publicity list to get further input from a wider group. Regards, Jeremiah
