It's a fine location for me, but I live in Central California. I think that 
it's mostly people who are in places like Europe or Australia and who lack the 
time or money to make a trip that far who were unhappy with the location. And 
there's not much that we can do about that. Moving it to someplace else (e.g. 
somewhere in Europe) would just change who is having the problem. Every tech 
conference has the same problem.
