Is this really a discussion about the name of a

discussion about inclusion and exclusion with the underlying question if
this conference, which once was set up as a meeting for the organizations
within the Wikimedia movement, should be open for non-organized Wikimedians
as well. Which would probably be a different conference.
I think this discussion is both. But the immediate, acute, and solvable
problem (the inaccurate name of the conference) should not be ignored, just
because there *might* be a larger, hazier problem that will not be solved
today or tomorrow. Some progress is better than no progress.
Personally, I have no problem with the existence of the conference, but I
find its name alienating. Not everyone agrees with that assessment, but
clearly some others in this thread do.
