Not so much difference (Score:2)

I think that there always has been a large contingent of locals at the YAPC's (with Belfast being a notable exception according to Karen and Marty). We just don't notice the 20-30 locals in a crowd of 150-200 YAPC'ers. At a workshop where there is only 70-100 participants, 20 locals are really noticable.
It also requires a certain "critical mass" for in-jokes to be funny, if just 2 or 3 in the audience understand it, you won't get much of a laugh.
