On the other hand, we can make smaller non-worldwide FUDCons. I really enjoy the 
local FUDCons - closer to users but from developers perspective - it's just 
useless activity (it works for local ambassadors but not for other people).

I'd prefer to have smaller - one day local events (EMEA, APAC, LATAM, Africa 
maybe?) and one big worldwide (who says it has to be NA always??? yes, I know, 
budget but)...

Today I had 1:1 with our HR how to bring more people to NA FUDCon as a 
benefit/motivation :)

So I'm +1!
