On the future of LinuxWorld Expo's world wide

In the comments of Dave Jone's article on the ridiculous reason why there won't be a LinuxWorldExpo in the UK this year.

DirkHohndel mentions :

LinuxWorld Boston was killed mid last year. It didn't happen this year, won't happen next year.LinuxWorld New York was revived this year in a new format and won't be back next year, either.LinuxWorld Germany was canceled this year and allegedly will be back next year.
Now we hear the same for the LinuxWorld UK. Bottom line: the sponsors are voting with their dollars.

I never really liked the LWE formats in Europe... as they were everything but technical and usually colocated to some other event.
But I`m still wondering where this is heading for local events such as the dutch and the Belgian one.
