I would generally argue that visibility on existing conferences is
likely better cost/benefit than hosting large conferences on our own, in
particular given the geographically diverse membership.

That said, we already do this successfully with e.g gentoo miniconf;
very nice conference (thanks to those hosting it) and at relatively low
cost as track on other linux conferene (In case of others; I'm
specifically thinking of the prague ones).

We have from time to time talked about a day before/after FOSDEM as that
seems to be the largest single meeting point, but the idea, at least for
me, is mostly rejected as people are tired enough after such a large
conference and I don't see very much gain from it vs just the stand we
have today at substantially lower cost.
