Yes. While I think it is valuable to have a "main" conference to allow
maximum interchange between people from different regions, we should
also encourage more regional events. Events which last a day or two do
not take a lot of organiser time. (Somehow the organiser time required
seems to grow exponentially with the scale of the event.)
Not everyone can justify the travel time or cost of attending a distant
event. I think this is especially relevant for encouraging new
contributors, or people who are just thinking about starting to
contribute to Debian. Only the most enthusiastic will consider
attending a DebConf far away from them; many more would attend a shorter
local event.
