So, We currently have debconf and there is also the Debian mini-conf; the latter is held where ever linux.conf.au is held (next year, Dunedin NZ - this year it was Canberra - birthplace of tux - Sydney, Australia). It is probably time to promote the Debian mini-conf up to being a 'full debconf', why not rename Debian mini-conf to Debian Sud. Jon (Oxer) has been organising the Debian mini-conf singlehandedly for the last 3 years, so I doubt it'd be much harder to extend it from 2 days to 5. Objections?
