It's 100% oriented around the US political compass, too.
I noticed this in ~2012 in the Python community. PyCon 2013 was the last "real PyCon" in my eyes. That was "Donglegate" happened, and was the last TiP BoF.

The politics of each "side" completely aside, it has worried me for a long time that the division has infected F/OSS as well, and weakened it as a result.
