The fundamental thought process behind having DebConf transition between the
2 hemispheres is to make it a little more reasonable for more Debian
Developers to be able to make a conference that otherwise wouldn't be able
to attend because of travel issues.
I think if we don't have a strong "Americas" bid for DC16, we should
certainly entertain any genuine and viable options, but I sincerely prefer
alternating as we have been doing.
That said, I think an Asia or Australian bid should be considered regardless
of what year cycle we're on.
