All of us in North America are pretty much in the same boat. A trip to Europe starts at about $500 for the East Coast and about $750 for us poor West Coast people. By combining the events (possibly also mixing in an X or an XFCE track) would instantly make it much more appealing to come to, from a purely economic POV.
