Looks like most WO devs in North America are working directly or indirectly for Apple. That would explain why we have more Europeans coming to WOWODC than people near.
I see people disappear from this list every time they are hired by Apple. I just noticed Kieran has not been active in the list and his linked in profile says he is now at Apple.

Yeah, I was surprised by that too.
Apple rarely gives definitive statements on anything, let alone a long dead and forgotten product ;)

I am surprised that Hugi got a clear statement from Apple. That must have taken some persistence! “Frank, this damn Hugi guy keeps bugging us every year, get rid of him!”
