Apropos this issue, the R Foundation has had an offer to host useR 2009 from a European based group rather than a North American based one. My understanding is that no decision has yet been taken, though. If other groups had an interest in hosting useR 2009, it might not be a bad idea to register that interest fairly soon.
There was a suggestion that alternating between the North America and Europe would be a good idea, but I don't know if this is a cosy understanding of what would be nice, or a reasonably firm policy decision. (I'm also not sure in which camp little places like Brazil, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, China, India, ..., would fit in this rather occidental view of the world, too. :-) Bill Venables.
