In any global community any single location will make a good many people feel "uncuddly".
As the community grows we may expect to see a greater number of regional events, possibly in lieu of or possibly complimenting a single larger global event.
For example, I'm currently working with the organizers of the SoCal Linux Expo to see if we can add a one-day track at their event in Pasadena next January that's all about LiveCode, sort of a mini-LiveCode-conference under the SCaLE umbrella as we do for Ubuntu with UbuCon there each year.
Please don't make travel commitments yet, unless it's for SCaLE itself which is always well worth attending. My discussions with the SCaLE folks are early-stage, and it'll likely be a few more weeks before we'll know for sure if we can pull together the logistics to make that happen. But if you have any interest in Linux at all, man oh man I can't say enough great things about attending SCaLE, with or without a LiveCode event there.
As for LC events elsewhere, I would encourage anyone here interested in organizing a regional LiveCode event to do so.
The very first LiveCode conference was held in Monterey, organized by Dan Shafer and Chipp Walters and required no assistance from LiveCode Ltd. They continued to hold the Monterey conferences as an independent event for many years.
The Euro RevCon held in Malta twice was also put together by a community member, Jim Sims.
A global conference is great, but difficult for both the company and attendees who may not be close to the venue. But that needn't stop us from having a good time sharing LiveCode tips with our friends and colleagues wherever we are, whenever we can.
Whether it's a monthly user group meeting with a dozen or so people, or a large annual or semi-annual regional even for a hundred or more, it all seems like a good time to me.
Extra bonus points if there's also an annual global conference to top it all off.
