 Hi!

 I've noticed that the new events dashboard widget don't show all WordCamps
 in a country basis. It shows only that ones nearby in kilometres, 400 kms
 as seen in code
 (https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/api.wordpress.org/public_html/events/1.0/index.php?rev=5559&marks=707,708#L703).

 That way, i.e., for an Spanish WordPress user from Madrid  (in the
 geographical center of the Country) it going to be impossible to know
 about WordCamps  in Chiclana (Cádiz) or others far away from that 400 kms
 standard, and totally impossible for anybody to know about a WordCamp in
 Las Palmas (Canary Islands), and impossible for anyone that lives in
 Canary Islands to know about continent WordCamps.

 It could be possible to extend/change the range to a country basis (best)
 or more kilometres?
