FWIW, in Spain we already organized this "smaller Desktop Summit", called Guademy. It was organized on 2007 [7] and 2008 [8] (and in theory they were successful). As on 2009 Desktop Summit was a combined event, it was not organized again. So this option is more or less bring it back Guademy, although with a more wider (non-local-Spanish) approach. > 2.

This solution probably would mean that the combined event will be longer. In my personal opinion, GUADEC is already a really long event. And not all people can be on all the days of that such long event. This means that some days, mostly the last ones, GUADEC became a empty event. It is sad to see how many people attend to some talks during those days.
