Another idea: what if there was a related (open source, but not necessarily Debian) event either a) event for 100 people same week as DebCamp, or b) event for 200 people back-to-back with DebConf, so a total 3 or 4 week booking of Le Camp? Has anyone thought about such a possibility? If feasible, would this reduce downside risk associated with the 200 person average? Would anyone object to sharing the venue during the DebCamp week? _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
