Conferences are good (Score:5, Interesting)
Of course, TPC and YAPC::NA and YAPC::Europe should stay, and the German workshop also has a good track record. But adding those others - I can't help but feel that the people who have the most interesting things to talk about will be all conferenced out. Worse is that the "stars" could spread themselves thinly around instead of concentrating on the main ones, so they all become mediocre instead of havinga few great conferences.
You can tentatively add an Italian Perl Workshop to your list - I saw some discussion of it on the Italian mongers' list - althuogh there's nothign confirmed and no dates yet.

It gives other people the opportunity to become stars by not feeling intimidated about the volume of genius that they must compete against when submiting a paper for presentation.
That kind of feeling keeps many people with new and iteresting things to say from even proposing talks.
