Piggybacking on other conferences can certainly help overseas travellers. Are there other major conferences later in the year?
Hosting after FOSDEM 2016 actually seems ideal and it will be in Brussels (<2 hours away by train, or <1 hour by flight). It is a bit soon after the Bonn conference, though but maybe that won't matter? This isn't intended to be a big formal event anyway. If you get enough community members in the Doodle poll I think you should go for it :-)
I also want to double stress the importance of getting an official invitation out early is crucial. People from overseas might need to go through a visa application process to attend, which might take several months (and is not seldomly tied to an official invitation)
