The number of attendees to talks and the number of people having food at LeCamp can probably be taken up (iff the respective additional money comes in adequately) by some dozens (lets say +50). But there's indeed a hard limit of 325 _beds_ in LeCamp (that the DebConf commitee very much knew of). There are alternate accomodation eventualities for individuals [0] but they are addmitedly quite distant. We are also discussing the possibility of extending the hosting capabilities of Le Camp either by allowing private tents (very unlikely) or by providing a bigger group-tent (also unlikely, but less so). In anycase, we'll have more answers after the next meeting at LeCamp [1]. I have put the "DebConf13 venue decision" up for decision by the DebConf team at its next meeting [2]; both the localteam volunteers and Le Camp need to know rather soon if DebConf13's going to happen there or not. In my understanding, the DebConf team is entitled to decide if the limit makes it a "no-go" or not and I'd really prefer having the cut of enforcing a venue change done early rather than late.
