It's totally cool to use the name and localize it. We've run a couple of really successful c4l north's up here in Canadaland. 

It provides a great opportunity to expose folks to the community, network (natch as adr would say), and provide a venue for professional development.

Confidence building, and hanging out really amazing with like minded people at its best!
