I don't think the NixOS Foundation needs to have a bigger say in this
decision, than any other member of the Nix community. So feel free to
organize events in an open discussion with the Nix community.

The NixOS Foundation, *currently*, does not have as goal to govern any
community process within the Nix community. This might change in the
future, if we get broader involvement of the community in the
Foundation, and if the community decides we want to organise this as
part of the NixOS Foundation. For now the NixOS Foundation has a
limited scope, as described on http://nixos.org/nixos/foundation.html,
to support the infrastructure and projects of the Nix community.

To give a *personal* opinion, I would prefer seeing a NixCon in the
USA, if that is feasible and there is enough interest. But I also
wouldn't mind it if it would be organized in St Petersburg.

Cheers,
