I actually consulted that schedule in making the proposal for Europe. My thoughts
were a little different in that I wanted to avoid having two international events in the
same quarter for a company.

You will notice that IETF 81 is in Canada (Which I don't consider a significant
cost unless I try to use my cell phone.) and in July. So a June trip to Europe
meets my criteria.

Using your criteria, the first available slot that works would be IETF 87 in July
2013.

Oracle does have an office there, no clue as to the size nor appropriateness.
