Victoria is a beautiful place, and it will be a pleasure to meet there. This being said, it seems a little bit unfair to state that the US is less interested than Europe or Asia in open standards. I was under the impression that HTML and XML are quite successful here!
But with the notable exception of Vancouver, SVG Open was/is organized on the campus of some nice Universities (Tokyo, Enschede, Victoria,...). In the US, you will need to go after Companies to organize such a thing. You asked individual developers, and this won't do. Besides, SVG on the desktop is still (at best) a few years away from being successful. SVG Mobile is the big thing here so unless we are ready to shift the focus from SVG desktop to SVG Mobile, it will be difficult to capture the attention of the US. My 2 cents, with the others...
