> I'd probably like to file one asking them to do *several* WWDCs around the world – the cost to people in the bay area is already pretty high ($1.6k ish per attendee), but to someone in the UK, the cost is more like $4k per attendee. Plus of course doing several would kill the second stone of having more spaces available!
As Scott noted, this isn't as efficient, or really practical in any sense. As it is WWDC has a huge impact on Apple's engineers - aside from the week itself (during which only a thousand or so are at WWDC, at most, on any given day) there's a lot of preparation for the month or two prior. Developer relations in particular are working their nuts off to not only get the conference itself in order, but ancillary things like make sure all the presenters are up to snuff, that relevant sample code is ready and to a proper standard, etc etc.
Also, physical presence really isn't that useful. There is certainly a camaraderie that comes from being physically together, which is all warm and fuzzy and all, but for the most part boring old telepresence solutions (even email, of all things!) is a perfectly good way to work together with an Apple engineer. So what you really should be asking pointed questions about, of Apple, is why you can't get in direct contact with relevant engineers occasionally. ("Technical Support Incidents" are (were?) vaguely of this nature, though the indirection through developer relations can be problematic for everyone involved)
