In reply to George Stephanis.

I guess it's not just about "naming" - it goes deeper and seems more about a general principle.

What is this city-based dogma all about?

Why can't just country-wide WordCamps and City-based or Camps in the middle of it (for regions/states/cantons) live side by side and be fruitful to each other? ---> THIS should be the normal way.

Camps should be such as it is best for one country, city, state/region/canton/whatever. And if it were a country-wide WordCamp Netherlands PLUS some city-based -- wouldn't that be the VERY BEST that could ever happen? For a sound and growing community? Absolutely yes, it would be.

Currently such rules existing hinder growth of the community and are a souce of frustration and a lot of community members going away. That hurts and is very sad.
