No, he doesn't.  He and Arnould being argumentative and accusatory where none of that is warranted.

I used to run the devsummits, and we did tele-conference lines for remote people to participate.  After I stepped down, others took it up and did the same thing.  Usually, the lines were unused.  I suspect that organizers simply stopped thinking about them after a while because of poor interest.  There is no conspiracy of exclusion here, just simple human apathy.

The invite system for the devsummit was, and still is, purely about providing some order to the process.  It ensures that people attending are willing to demonstrate a minimum amount of interest, more than just wondering by a room one day and dropping in for free food and wifi.  If anyone feels that they are being excluded, it's because they are too lazy to go beyond being argumentative on a mailing list.
