This is the case of any conference or convention; each event will actually be visited by only a small subset of the potential target audience. This will include a higher proportion of people who are physically close to the event (for whom travel is easier). For migratory events like Wikimania, this means each event in the series will draw a demographically different population each time, 'stirring up the pot'. I'm not sure why you think this is "too bad", can you explain? -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)
