Volunteer organizers should be treated like the saints they are, but Cami Kaos is a full-time employee of Matt Mullenweg (Jeff Chandler, please check). At least she was two years ago when I was organizing a WordCamp - she was the authorized signature on all contracts we undertook on WordCamp's behalf. I, too, got caught in an 11th hour rule invention that caused embarrassment. Josh, Pantheon obviously has a first rate staff. If one of them called out a paid organizer over a mistake of this magnitude and hurt their feelings, please give them a raise. And then take your sponsorship dollars where they are appreciated. I'm fine with WordCamps being whatever Matt wants them to be, he's paying for the privilege. But his employees shouldn't hide behind rules written to protect true volunteers, and vaguely libel others in the process.
