A second conference open to the public would be a second yearly Wikimania, and to open it means to have a budget more or less equal to Wikimania.
Indeed, which is why we keep asking for the name to stop being a lie.

Considering it a lie is an extreme evaluation in my opinion.
In Wikimedia conference there are chapters (~40) and user groups (~15). At the start it was called "chapters conference", now it's called Wikimedia Conference because it's more open.
In my opinion it's not a problem to call it again "chapters conference".
To participate it's sufficient to be "representative of a group", not only of himself.
Considering the principle of "delegation", it may be considered a Wikimedia Conference.
