I think there's some confusion with conference vs the european group.
For the *group*, we said we preferred Eurozone. For the conference, we
said, IIRC, that schengen would be nice, but not a requirement.

Before we consider the Ukraine, though, we need to figure out if there
are Visa requirements for a lot of people. That will be a disqualifier,
IMHO.
