That may well be a factor, but then again, I feel that pkgsrcCon will be
visited primarily by European developers, while BSDCan will likely
primarily be visited by North American developers.  I'd guess that only
a small number of people are willing to pay for a trans-atlantic trip
out of their own pocket.

So the overlap may not be as large as one might expect.
