"Overseas events" would, to me, mean that it's probably somewhere in the Americas. You (and many others) seem to forget that not all your readers are so US-centric.
David, I think you need to read the article a little more closely. It starts off with a discussion that leads to the point that there has been a dearth of Linux technical conferences in the US. So, the US developers often have had to go "overseas". There is nothing US-centric in those observations: they're jut describing what has been the state of things in an important region of the Linux development community.

Sorry, I agree with David. I had to re-read the sentence to understand what "overseas" meant in this context.
