B.Participant+1 This is something to Seattle WordPress community is exploring right now and something I think we have to think about with WordCamps. We want them to be something that people of all experience levels can get something out of just not newbies.

Love this idea! Something similar was started in the past (called Community Expectations).
We did make some progress that may be a good starting point or start over.

B.ParticipantWhat I think Peter may be referring to (and please do correct me if I’m wrong) is that for WordCamps sponsored by the WordPress Foundation one of the requirements has historically been that you must be a supporter of the GPL.
This has lead to situations like the 2010 debate with Chris Pearson at DIYThemes over Thesis. As well as some members of the Envato community being asked not to speak at WordCamps:

Both of these events have created some ripples in the community.
To phase Peter’s question another way perhaps, what are the requirements to be a speaker/organizer of an offical WordCamp/WordPress event and should we look at if they are effective?
