This year here in Brazil we put in practice something Jonathan had been 
talking for a long time: Debian can help local communities with 
reimbursaments to pay things like cakes, pizzas, flyers, banners and and 
so on.

Some while ago We had a call for "Debian Day organizers in Brazil", they 
sent me their budget and Andreas approved the ammount for these cities.
Because most of them are not DDs/DMs, we believe would be easier we 
(Debian Brazil) centralize the requests and ask for them.

Maybe this reflect the fact we haven't been hosting DebConfs in US and 
Western Europe for a long time. If the local communities organize small 
events/meetings such as Debian Day and Releasy Parties, they would grow 
to MiniDebConfs and DebConfs there?

I suggest next year we publish a call for Debian Day organizers (and for 
Release Parties) at least 2 months before. And keep remembering people 
they can organizer their events/meetings.

Maybe we can establish a goal: In 20245 we would like to have at least 
"n" cities celebrating Debian Day around the world.

You can help to fix that editing the wiki for them.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean here.

Best regards,
