Well done on collating this information in such a concise and thoughtful manner!

Dan,
You might want to look over the lessons learned from 2012. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2012_Lessons_Learned
I respectfully disagree with Michael. I think that early support of the China FOSS4G could have steered the event to be a successful, although smaller event.

China would still have failed, but we would have known about it [and, hopefully, acted] sooner.

Again from the sidelines... It would be an interesting exercise to conceptualize how having a single professional conference organizing company would have/have not made a difference with the failed voyage of FOSS4G to China in 2012. - Dan
