I totally agree there’s a need to look beyond North America. And given its de facto status as ‘the main global WordCamp’, I’d say it’s absolutely fair enough to raise this at San Fran.
One of the reasons we (Code For The People) agreed to give up some of John Blackbourn’s time to lead the 4.1 release was precisely to point out – to both Americans and Europeans – that there are key players on this side of the Atlantic too.
Sure, there are some ‘issues specific to Europe’, particularly on the legal front; and we’re arguably at the sharp end of other issues which affect plenty of others, like multilingual. But more importantly, we just need to develop stronger inter-community links, with Europe and within it.
‘There is no them, only us.’
PS While we’re on the subject, let’s not forget the Japanese community. 20% of all downloads of 4.0 have been the Japanese version. That’s four times as many as the next most popular translation (Chinese); and twice as many as French, German and Spanish COMBINED.
