Yes, we and some locals have talked about this in IRC, but we should have given you a clear answer in that thread, as you've clearly asked for. Sorry, I'll try to give some answers now: (from http://lists.debconf.org/lurker/message/20130610.085553.4a441921.en.html) - Are the capacity estimates sane wrt the room sizes? A 200m2 should be ok for 222 people in a school room equipped with 18 inch desks. In a theater seats style it would fit ~300 people, as Le Camp has stated. So, given the expected number of attendees it's enough to have a 200m2 room plus a 150m2 room for talks. I've got measures from $weird_websites, but they give more or less the same result. (eg. http://www.csgnetwork.com/grouproommeetcalc.html). - How many talk rooms and "official" hacklabs to we need? Are 2 talk rooms enough, or should we plan with 3 talk rooms? We've already reached almost 100% of availability considering that two rooms will be provided. So a third one would be great to offer for informal / last minute meetings. > There have been offers for video equipement for a third talk room.

For DC13 we have some extra-team people offering their help and equipment which could cover a third room, but afaik we can't assure now that it'll happen. So, lets assume two rooms with video coverage + a third room (if possible) with no video. Regards, -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .''`.
