Yes, but don't let that stop you organising a regional gathering, such as:

 * Boston Summit (USA)
 * GNOME.conf.au (Australia)
 * GUADEC-ES / GUADEMY (Spain)
 * Forum do GNOME (Brazil)
 * GNOME Developer Meeting (Chile/Venezuela)
 * FOSDEM GNOME Room (Belgium)
 * ... and many more!

These are a hugely important part of local and worldwide GNOME culture and
community development. Perhaps a GNOME meeting at FOSS.IN would be a good
way to kickstart something in India?
