Okay we have not had ten or so BarCamps. But we have had
* BarCampAdelaide
* BarCampMelbourne
* BarCampSydney, (now organising BarCamp 2)
* BarCampPerth
Some of these have been successful , some not so.
This isn't taking into account the Rails and .Net and PHP/OS Camps etc.
This type of event tends to work well if you leverage the entire web
community or at least promote it to a wide audience interested in
ColdFusion. I suppose its just a question of numbers.

I'm not knocking Adobe's support of such an event. Just questioning why
the requirement to make it mid week.
