Hi. WP Tech is a specific case (even I know there's something similar in Toronto if I remember well). It's an event which aims to have a national scope and if possible which may attract well known foreign technical experts. So I understand why it doesn't match WordCamp Central rules and I am fine with that.

@nofearinc. You're right France (my country) is a rich country. However you may understand that it can be difficult for some people to cover expenses (rich country doesn't mean that everyone is rich). Many times, I've seen these people doing great things at WordCamps. Regarding Nantes, please remember that not every city in France is as big as US cities.

I'd like to see rules that take in account local realities if possible because in the end we all work to develop the WordPress community and it appears that at the moment, France probably needs to work at a national level.

Different places, different paths, where's the problem if at the end there's a strong WordPress community?
