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?
