I respectfully disagree with Michael. I think that early support of the
China FOSS4G could have steered the event to be a successful, although
smaller event.

Again from the sidelines... It would be an interesting exercise to
conceptualize how having a single professional conference
organizing company would have/have not made a difference with the
failed voyage of FOSS4G to China in 2012. - Dan
