These days, it’s almost never worth it. Flying anywhere totally sucks, and flying to the US, with their paranoid “guilty until proven innocent” immigration policies, sucks an order of magnitude more than anywhere else.
(Unfortunately, in the world of IT, a lot of important things still happen in the US, but I just can’t be bothered with the hassle of joining in any more. I’ve managed to avoid going there for the past 10 years without missing it a bit, though.)

Slightly related:
When can I download the guadec videos? The usual place ( http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/teams/guadec/ ) has not been updated yet and I haven’t heard anything about them.
Will it take until december again ?
You guys really seem to need a dedicated admin.
The debian project did really really well in that regard. Debconf8 was streamed live and most of the videos were available just a few days after the event. But I guess distribution is what they do best …
