  Years previous there were plenty to choose from!

  Have you thought of letting the previous candidates know of the lack of proposals? Maybe you've done this already, but I couldn't go without mentioning the possibility of emailing all of them...

    I believe most have either been emailed, or spoken to in person at some point in the process. Of course, they shouldn't *need* to be asked. They know when the CFV is happening. We're all adults :-)
    
    But that raises another question. If you someone proposes one year, and doesn't get it.. why are they not in there the next being the first to propose with an even better bid?

      Well, perhaps because they think they might lose again? :-) That's what you should explain them, that at least one of them will win the bid :-)

        Heh. But, they should realize that if nobody bids, everybody loses.
        
        I guess we could add that to the YAPC Bid docs "At least one of you will win."
