They are not really close from each other (about 8 minutes [1]), so there'd better be some time to move from one place to the other. - The tower is a big room with fixed tables, for up to 150 people [2]. The separations you see in the schema are for retractable wooden walls (which do not provide very good sound isolation), so the space can be split in up to five 30-people rooms. Although the people at Oaxtepec assure there are some 150-people sessions, the geometry does not seem very logical for me, I suggest keeping it at maximum in a 120-people configuration, setting 1/5 aside for whatever. It could even be the video team area or something like that, now that I think of it... Have to check. - Each of the hacklabs has two rooms [3]. Depending on the demand for the talks to be scheduled there, I think we should assign one of the spaces for BoFs/talks, probably the large one - In auditorium configuration, the room's respective capacity is for 30 or 60 people. Keep in mind that disabled people will have a much (read: _much_) easier time attending talks in the hacklab area than in the tower. - Now, if we assign one large rooms to host talks, we would be left with three spaces for real hacklab usage: A whole module and the smaller room in the other one. In work table configuration, this means the space will nominally be enough for 90 people - But if we cover the surrounding areas, we will not have overpopulation, I hope. The terraces are nice, a bit smaller than Smokki's (just to give a sense of proportion), and if we have wireless coverage in the pool area, even more space is available.
