<li>In other regions, the regional conferences have run
in the same year as FOSS4G Global with no serious
issues noted. It is likely FOSS4G NA could run
anywhere other than the North-eastern United states,
and both it and FOSS4G Global in Boston would succeed.</li>

Two examples, where local (national level) FOSS4G's happen(ed) close
to a global FOSS4G:<br>
<br>
* FOSS4G Japan run in the same year as FOSS4G in Seoul<br>
* German FOSSGIS conference will be in the same year as FOSS4G Bonn<br>
<br>
I think the main reason why this has not been seen as a competition
were different languages.<br>
There is probably a significant number of attendants, who would not
attend a conference with presentations in English.<br>
<br>
In case of FOSS4G NA and FOSS4G in Bosten the language would be the
same though.<br>
